Description
Description
Habit stout, SVL 56.05 – 72.65 mm; head wide (HW/SVL = 0.331 – 0.776) with a thick supraorbital; nostrils closer to the tip of the snout than to the eyes; vertical loreal region; large eyes (EY/SVL = 0.126); tympanum oval, distinct, 2 / 5 to 3 / 5 of the eye diameter (TY/ EY = 0.326 – 0.523). Disk of fingers and toes blunt; formula for the web of the toe, I 1 – 1 II 0 – 1 III 1 / 2 – 1 IV 1 – 0 V, follows that used by Savage and Heyer (1997); length of tibia, ratio of TL/SVL about 0.471 – 0.469; subarticular tubercles developed; inner metatarsal oval; smaller outer metatarsal. Dorsal surface is blackish; with scattered warts that have blackened ends; paratoid glands are very prominent, elongated; the venter part is pale yellow, granularious.
Habitat
An amplectant pair was found in plot 8 during the first survey, while it was raining. One juvenile was collected from plot 1 in the primary forest, 3 – 5 m distant from the flow. It was found to be active at 19 – 22°C and 84 – 99% humidity.
Remarks
This species was found in primary forest (plot 1), open area (plot 8), and minimally disturbed primary forest (plot 9), at an elevation of 1700 m asl. The species has not previously been recorded higher than 1000 m asl (Leong and Chou 2000; Gillespie et al. 2004; Iskandar and Mumpuni 2004; Wanger et al. 2011). Of the three species of Bufonidae known from Sulawesi, only this species was recorded in our study. One individual was found with the third finger not having grown normally.
