Remarks. –
Nine specimens agree with
Cochran’s (1927)
description of the
type
series from Nong Khor in southeastern
Thailand
and Stuart & Emmett’s (2006) description of specimens from the central Cardamoms, and
two specimens
collected from the northeastern Cardamoms (
Grismer et al., 2007a
) in having the two outer fingers (digits III and IV) nearly opposable to the inner two (digits I and II); interorbital distance much greater than the width of the upper eyelid; SVL greater than
20 mm
(SVL
26–35 mm
in our sample); dorsum reddish-brown with dark, transverse blotches and barred limbs; head slightly wider than body; tibiotarsal articulation reaching the eye or slightly beyond it; toes nearly completely webbed; canthus angular; tympanum distinct.
Taylor (1962)
stated that the outer fingers are 2/3 webbed but in our specimens, webbing is restricted to the base with the fingers being 1/4–1/2 webbed at most.
All specimens were calling while seated on small leaves of low bushes adjacent to temporary rain pools along the edge of the main trail. Stuart & Emmet (2006) report
Chiromantis nongkhorensis
from the central and southeastern Cardamoms and
Grismer et al. (2007a)
report it from the northeastern Cardamoms.
