Amolops larutensis

Amolops larutensis is a species of frog in the family Ranidae that is found in the Malay Peninsula from southernmost Thailand to Malaysia; records further north probably represent A. panhai.

Description

Male Amolops larutensis grow to a snout–vent length of and females to. They have large discs in their finger tips and smaller ones in the toe tips. They have granular skin; their back is pale yellowish green with dark blotches but they are white from under. Tadpoles have large ventral suckers which they use to attach themselves to rocky surfaces.

Habitat

Amolops larutensis is a common and abundant species occurring on boulders and bedrock in and along fast-flowing, clear-water forest streams both in lowlands and highlands. It may be the most common frog in forest boulder streams all through the Malay Peninsula. It is not considered threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
