Limnonectes asperatus is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to Kalimantan, Borneo, in Indonesia. [1]
This frog lives in rainforests. It is threatened by the loss of its habitat to logging operations. [1]
Limnonectes is a genus of fork-tongued frogs of about 75 known species, but new ones are still being described occasionally. They are collectively known as fanged frogs because they tend to have unusually large teeth, which are small or absent in other frogs.
Limnonectes arathooni is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to southwestern Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Limnonectes dammermani, Dammerman's wart frog, is a species of frogs in the family Dicroglossidae endemic to the Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia, where it can be found on Flores, Sumbawa, and Lombok. It is believed to be a relatively common species that lives near forested streams, as other members of the genus do.
The Eastern Mindanao frog or Tagibo wart frog is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to the Philippines, where it occurs in the mountains of Mindanao.
Limnonectes finchi, Finch's wart frog, is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae endemic to Sabah, Malaysia, but it might well occur in adjacent Kalimantan. Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forests. The main potential threat to this species is habitat loss caused by conversion of forests to oil palm plantations. L. finchi shows some parental care: male frogs guard eggs and carry the tadpoles to small rain pools on the forest floor where the rest of larval development occurs.
Limnonectes grunniens is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in Sulawesi, Molucca Islands, and New Guinea. Frogs from Sulawesi may represent a different, undescribed species.
Limnonectes ingeri is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in Borneo . Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forests, rivers, and swamps. It is probably seriously affected by habitat loss, and locally also by collection for food.
Limnonectes kadarsani is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to Indonesia where it is found in the Lesser Sunda Islands. Specifically, it has been recorded from Lombok, Sumbawa, Flores, and Adonara. Its natural habitats are tropical primary and secondary wet and dry forests where it occurs around forested streams. It is a relatively common frog. It is not considered threatened by the IUCN although potential threats include exploitation for food, water pollution from agriculture, and forest clearing.
Limnonectes kenepaiensis is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to western Borneo and occurs in both Kalimantan (Indonesia) and Sarawak (Malaysia), and perhaps in Sabah (Malaysia). Common name Kenepai wart frog has been coined for it. It was first described as subspecies of Limnonectes paramacrodon, which it resembles.
Limnonectes khasianus, commonly known as the corrugated frog, rivulet frog, or sometimes (ambiguously) called "flat-headed frog", is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in Brunei, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and possibly Bangladesh and Bhutan. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, rivers, intermittent rivers, freshwater marshes, and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is not considered threatened by the IUCN.
The Koh Chang frog or Koh Chang wart frog is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in east Thailand and southern Cambodia. Records from Laos and Vietnam represent other species.
The giant river frog is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to Borneo, and found in Brunei, Kalimantan (Indonesia), and Sabah and Sarawak (Malaysia).
The Luzon fanged frog is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to the Philippines.
The fanged river frog, Javan giant frog, Malaya wart frog, or stone creek frog is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae endemic to Sumatra and Java, Indonesia. Records from other regions are probably caused by misidentifying other species such as Limnonectes blythii as this species.
The giant Philippine frog, large swamp frog, or Mindanao fanged frog is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to the Philippines. Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, rivers, intermittent rivers, freshwater marshes, and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is becoming rare due to habitat loss.
Limnonectes nitidus is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to Peninsular Malaysia where it is only known from the Cameron Highlands and Fraser's Hill, both in Pahang state.
The Philippine small-disked frog is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to the Philippines.
Limnonectes shompenorum is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in Great Nicobar Island (India), its type locality, and in western Sumatra (Indonesia). It is similar to Limnonectes macrodon. The name refers to Shompen people, the indigenous people of the interior of Great Nicobar Island.
The Giant Visayan frog is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to the Philippines, and is known from Masbate, Cebu, Negros, Guimaras, Panay, and Siquijor islands.
