Limnonectes tweediei (common name: Tweedie's wart frog) is a species of frogs in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in Sumatra (Indonesia) and the Malay Peninsula (Malaysia). [2]
Natural habitat of Limnonectes tweediei are muddy pools in rainforests near small streams and seepages. It makes holes for breeding. It is becoming rare due to pollution and habitat degradation. [1]
Blyth's river frog, Blyth's frog, giant Asian river frog, or (ambiguously) giant frog, Limnonectes blythii, is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae found from Myanmar through western Thailand and the Malay Peninsula to Sumatra and Borneo (Indonesia).

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 fragilis is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to the Hainan Island, China. It is a medium-sized frog, males being 49 mm (1.9 in) and females 52 mm (2.0 in) snout-vent length. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Limnonectes fujianensis is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is most closely related to, and formerly confused with Limnonectes kuhlii. Its name refers to the type locality in Fujian province of China. It is also found in Hunan, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi in China as well as in Taiwan. and other sources give a somewhat broader distribution.
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.

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.
Limnonectes macrognathus is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, rivers and intermittent rivers. Its status is insufficiently known.

It is found on the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, Borneo, and a range of islands on the Sunda Shelf . Its natural habitats are shallow, gentle streams and nearby swampy areas including peat swamps, very flat alluvial forests, and overgrown plantations. It is becoming rare due to habitat loss (deforestation), and to a lesser extent, exploitation.
