Microhyla superciliaris; The type locality of this species was originally a limestone crag area surrounded by lowland forest. In Sumatra this species is rare. Data Deficient (DD).
This species is known in Peninsular Malaysia from two localities: Batu Caves near Kuala Lumpur (the type locality), and Kuala Tahan in the Taman Negara National Park. In Sumatra it is known from three localities: two in Gunung Leuser National Park in Aceh (Iskandar pers. comm.), and one near Lahat in south Sumatra (Mumpuni pers. comm.). It is a low altitude species.
This species might be synonymous with Microhyla palmipes (see Berry 1975). However, Iskandar (pers. comm.) considers that it is a separate species.
