Revision of the limnonectes kuhlii-like fanged frogs from Malaysian Borneo (Amphibia: Anura: Dicroglossidae)

A group of fanged frogs from Southeast and East Asia has long been considered a single widespread species Limnonectes kuhlii, but occurrence in this group of many cryptic species has recently been demonstrated mainly in the continent through molecular phylogenetic analyses. This led to similar analy...
