Limnonectes deinodon
—
Corrugated Frog
Limnonectes deinodon was rescued from synonymy (whew!) from Limnonectes laticeps in 2014. The ones in Peninsular Malaysia are now considered to be L. deinodon.
This frog looks basically like a member of the confusing Limnonectes “kuhlii” complex, but with a distinctive skin texture.
My Travelogues and Trip Lists page includes a complete list of the herps I saw in the wild on this trip to Malaysia, as well as a travelogue of the trip.
On a rainy night, these were the only two frogs my guide Kurt "Orion" G and I saw on a quick inspection of a stretch of road through some good froggy habitat. We soon moved on the more fertile pastures.
