Description
Habitat
Ecology: The Bukit Besar specimen originated from "thick jungle" at 750 m
asl, while the Kuala Teku specimen was collected at 200 m asl, indicating that this is an inhabitant of closed-canopy rainforest (Taylor 1962; Berry 1975). The habitat
at Gombak, at 300 m asl, is similar. This species presumably breeds
in pools
