Abstract

A new species of the dicroglossid frog genus is described from recent and historical museum specimens collected in central and southern Laos and northeastern Thailand. has males that bear a caruncle on top of the head, and most closely resembles from adjacent southern Vietnam and eastern Cambodia. However, the new species is readily distinguished from , and all other caruncle-bearing species of in mainland Southeast Asia, by its adult and larval morphology, mitochondrial DNA, and advertisement call. Its description brings the total number of caruncle-bearing species of to six.
