Djoko Iskandar

Djoko Tjahjono Iskandar (born 1950) is an Indonesian herpetologist who studies the amphibians of Southeast Asia and Australasia. He is a professor of biosystematics and ecology at Bandung Institute of Technology in West Java, Indonesia.

Iskandar has been the first to describe many species of amphibian, including the Bornean flat-headed frog ( Barbourula kalimantanensis ) in 1978, ^{[1] [2]} and, in 2014, Limnonectes larvaepartus , the only known frog that directly births tadpoles. ^[3] He is the author of The Amphibians of Java and Bali. ^[4] The monotypic banded watersnake genus Djokoiskandarus is named in his honour, ^[5] as are several species of lizard and frog.
