Abstract
Samples of frogs from various localities in Sarawak and Sabah contain two new species, which we describe here as Megophrys dringi and Philau tus bunitus. These samples also include a specimen of Theloderma, the first record of the genus from Borneo. We present the first descriptio n of leptolalax dringi Dubois, a name based on an abbreviated diagnosi s, and descriptions but no names of two apparently distinct forms of L eptolalax. Bornean populations previously referred to Leptobrachium ha sseltii are shown to represent two distinct species, one in lowlands a nd one restricted to montane forests.
