Microhyla superciliaris


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.).

This species might be synonymous with Microhyla palmipes (see Berry 1975). However, Iskandar (pers. comm.) considers that it is a separate species.
