Chalcorana eschatia Inger, Stuart & Iskandar, 2009
Peninsular Copper-cheeked Frog Fig. 3E
Description.
An immature female, 35.4 mm SVL, two adult females, 47.3-48.4 mm and five adult males, 30.5-34.6 mm SVL. Both adult females are gravid.
Natural history notes.
Streamside in the primary forest.
General Distribution.
Tanintharyi Myanmar to southern Thailand.
Molecular Data.
Our specimens were placed in a single COIBIN with four specimens from Thailand identified as
Hylarana eschatia
. Our specimens were placed in a 16S clade with material from GenBank, with all specimens of
C. eschatia
from neighboring Thailand, including type material (e.g. FMNH 268523-30,
Inger et al. 2009
). Our specimens ranged from 0-1.4% sequence divergence from these individuals in GenBank. Our specimens were placed sister to a clade of COI barcodes for
C. eschatia
(KR087702-5), some of the same individuals for which 16S date were available (
Grosjean et al. 2015b
).
Comments.
The Malayan populations were formerly included in
Hylarana chalconota
, which is now restricted to southern Sumatra, Java, and Bali. Our findings represent new country records for this species.
