Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: This species is found in Myanmar (southern Tenasserim and the Nakhon Sri Thammarat mountains; Smith 1930) and Thailand (the Trang mountains); although its distinctive calls have also been heard in Malaysia (in the forest of the Thai-Malay border region hills). It probably occurs more widely than current records suggest, especially in areas between known sites. It has been recorded at altitudes of about 300-600 m asl (Smith, 1930).

Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: It inhabits the forest floor near, yet above streams in closed-canopy rainforest. Distinctive calls are also heard in old rubber plantations. It is suspected to breed by direct development (Dubois 1987) analogous to Limnonectes hascheanus.
Systems: Terrestrial; Freshwater
Use and Trade [top]
Use and Trade: There are no records of this species being utilized.
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): A primary conservation concern would be the loss of closed-canopy rainforest habitat caused by deforestation.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: Safeguarding the existing protected areas of Peninsular Thailand, and ideally adding Ulu Muda to the protected areas of Peninsular Malaysia, should safeguard the species survival. Status surveys and conservation biology studies would be welcome.
