Chalcorana parvaccola is a species of "true frog" in the family Ranidae. [2] It is endemic to Sumatra, Indonesia. [1] [2] It was split off from Chalcorana chalconota by Robert Inger and colleagues in 2009, [2] along with a number of other species. [3] The specific name parvaccola is derived from Latin parvus meaning small and accola meaning neighbor, and refers to this species being smaller than its "neighbor", the related Sumatran species Chalcorana rufipes .

Description

Chalcorana parvaccola are relatively small frogs: adult males measure 28–38 mm (1.1–1.5 in) and females 38–43 mm (1.5–1.7 in) in snout–vent length. Body is slender and legs are long. The snout is narrowly rounded. The tympanum is distinct, larger in males than in females. The outer fingers have large discs; no webbing is present. The toe tips have discs that are smaller than the fingers ones. The webbing between the toes is extensive. Preserved specimens are brown dorsally and on the sides. The sides of the head are darker. The upper lip is lighter but is dusted with melanophores. There are small black spots on the dorsal surfaces. The venter is whitish and lightly dusted with melanophores. Most individuals lack dark crossbars on the hind limbs. The webbing between the toes is ventrally black. [3]

Habitat and conservation

Chalcorana parvaccola is found in both pristine and disturbed rainforests as well as in gardens and artificial ponds near villages at elevations of 31–1,539 m (102–5,049 ft) above sea level. Breeding presumably takes place in water. It is a widespread and locally common frog. It could be threatened by pollution from human settlements and by expanding oil palm plantations and human settlements. It is present in several protected areas. [1]

Amolops spinapectoralis is a species of frog in the family Ranidae, the "true frogs". It is at present only known from a few locations in central Vietnam—that is, it is endemic to Vietnam—but it is likely to be found more widely in the Vietnamese Central Highlands as well as in the adjacent southeastern Laos and northeastern Cambodia. The specific name spinapectoralis is derived from Latin spina for "thorn" and pectoralis for "of the breast" and refers to the pectoral spines in adult males. Common name spinyback torrent frog has been coined for it.

Chalcorana labialis, also known as the white-lipped frog, is a species of "true frog" in the family Ranidae. As currently known, it is endemic to Peninsular Malaysia, although it might also occur in Singapore. Molecular data suggest presence of three distinct lineages in the same area, one of which is not closely related to Chalcorana labialis and which could represent an unnamed species.

Papurana attigua is a species of frog in the family Ranidae, the "true frogs". It is found in central and south Vietnam, eastern Cambodia, and southern Laos. The specific name attigua is derived from Latin attiguus meaning "neighbor". It refers to the similarity of this species to Indosylvirana milleti. The common name similar frog has been coined for this species.

<i>Chalcorana chalconota</i> Species of amphibian

Chalcorana chalconota is a species of "true frog", family Ranidae. It is endemic to Indonesia and occurs in southern Sumatra, Java, Bali, and a few smaller islands. Populations previously assigned to this species now belong to a number of other Chalcorana species, leading to the current delineation of Chalcorana chalconota with a much narrower range. This species is also known as the Schlegel's frog, brown stream frog, copper-cheeked frog, or, among with many other species, white-lipped frog.

<i>Chalcorana eschatia</i> Species of amphibian

Chalcorana eschatia is a species of "true frog" in the family Ranidae. It is known from southern Thailand, but is likely to be more widespread. It was split off from Chalcorana chalconota by Robert Inger and colleagues in 2009, along with a number of other species in so-called "Rana chalconota group". The specific name eschatia, derived from the Greek word for "outskirt", refers to distribution of this species being at the edge of the geographical range of the group.

<i>Chalcorana macrops</i> Species of amphibian

Chalcorana macrops is a species of "true frog" in the family Ranidae. It is endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia. Common name Masarang frog has been coined for it. The specific name macrops refers to the large eyes of this frog.

<i>Chalcorana megalonesa</i> Species of amphibian

Chalcorana megalonesa is a species of true frog in the family Ranidae, the "true frogs". It is endemic to Borneo and is known from both Malaysia and Indonesia (Kalimantan).

<i>Chalcorana raniceps</i> Species of amphibian

Chalcorana raniceps, also known as the copper-cheeked frog, white-lipped frog, or Peters' Malaysian frog, is a species of "true frog" in the family Ranidae. It is endemic to Borneo, including Brunei Darussalam, Kalimantan (Indonesia), Sabah and Sarawak (Malaysia), although it is likely to occur more widely. Previously mixed with Chalcorana chalconota and believed to have much wider distribution, its range was delimited to Borneo in the revision of "Rana chalconota" complex by Robert Inger and colleagues in 2009.

Chalcorana rufipes is a species of "true frog" in the family Ranidae. It is endemic to Sumatra, Indonesia. It was split off from Chalcorana chalconota by Robert Inger and colleagues in 2009, along with a number of other species. The specific name rufipes is derived from Latin rufus meaning reddish and pes meaning foot, in reference to the reddish tinge on the underside of the pedal webbing in life.

Chalcorana scutigera is a species of "true frog" in the family Ranidae. However, it is a poorly known species that might actually be synonymous with Polypedates leucomystax. It is endemic to Peninsular Thailand. Common names Haut Sanuk frog and yellow trea frog have been coined for it.

Amolops akhaorum is a species of true frogs discovered in 2007 in the Nam Ha National Protected Area, north-western Laos. It is still only known from its type locality. The specific name akhaorum refers to the local Akha people who helped with the fieldwork of the team who discovered the species.
