| Summary: | Pelophryne api (Bufonidae), formerly only discovered at Mount Api, Mulu was recently
found at the limestone of Bau, Kuching. Morphological observations of the two individuals of P. api
discovered matched the original diagnosis description of the holotype species by Dring (1983). The
habitats of the recently discovered individuals are closely similar to that of the holotype species as
well, remarkably the leaves of low plants at limestone area. The recent collections of P. api leads to
suggestion that this species may occur at other limestone areas in Borneo and further field survey at
the Bornean limestone areas are needed. |
