Leptobrachella aerea

Description
Leptobrachella aerea males measure and females in snout-vent length. It is morphologically most similar to Leptobrachella oshanensis. Male L. aerea have been found to be calling from crevices between boulders, on rocks, and on stream banks in both June and November, suggesting that breeding may occur throughout the year. To the human ear, this call is a high-pitched, rapid chirping.Specimens collected from Vietnam were slightly different and seem to represent two other lineages.
