Description of a New Species, Rana multidenticulata (Anura: Ranidae), from Taiwan
Wen- iao Chou and Jun-Yi Lin (1997) Description of a new species, Rana multidenticulata (Anura: Ranidae), from Taiwan. Zoological Studies 36(3): 222--229. We describe a new ranid frog, Rana multidenticulata sp nov., from the montane areas of the Central Mountain Range of Taiwan. This species seems to be most closely related to R. sauteri which occurs in the western lowlands. These presumed sister taxa can be distinguished by oral features of tadpoles and several adult characters. Vocalization and larval morphology of the new species are also described.
