Leptobrachium smithi

Basic stats

Size

Males 36-68mm; females 50-78mm

Leptobrachium smithi, Smith's litter frog, is described in the cached account as a frog of Southeast Asia that may also occur in north-eastern India and Bangladesh and in Peninsular Malaysia (Pulau Langkawi), so its Indian occurrence is uncertain in this source. The species name honours Malcolm Arthur Smith, an early herpetologist of Thailand's amphibians (Wikipedia, general species account).

It is a moderate-sized Leptobrachium, with males measuring 36-68 mm and females 50-78 mm in snout-vent length. The head is relatively big and depressed, with striking eyes in which the upper half of the iris is scarlet or yellow (Wikipedia, general species account).
