Figure 2. Leptobrachium nigrops (FMNH 77513), denticles of lower lip (x963). rated, dark spots at rear of HB; ventrally HB without markings. HBL of two largest stage 25 tadpoles and 18mm, two in stages 31^2 and mm, one stage 38 22 mm. Buccal Cavity Based on FMNH 77513, stage 25, HBL mm and FMNH 148285, stage 32, HBL mm. Very similar to L. montanum. Ventral surfaces (Figs. 3, 4). Buccal floor arena with 50 to 100 low pustules; anterior to lateral papillae a low, thick, transverse ridge bearing several short papillae. Several short papillae and pus- tules in front of buccal pockets. Dorsal surfaces (Figs. 1, 5). Prenarial area with a large 3-branched papilla just behind lateral comer of beak. Postnarial arena with six to eight pustulose papillae on each side. Lateral ridge papilla with one short branch near base and two longer terminal ones. An elongate oval area of pustules and papillae lateral to buccal roof arena. Band of secretory pits widest laterally. Figure 3. Leptobrachium nigrops (FMNH 77513), anterior portion of floor of buccal cavity (x42). Anterior at top. Abbreviations: ILPA, anterior infralabial papilla; ILPP, posterior infralabial papilla; LP, presumed lingual papilla. Leptobrachium hendricksoni Taylor Differences between larvae of hen- dricksoni and montanum support the dif- ferences between adults noted by Taylor (1962). Larval material examined: Malaya—BBM 6965, 7137; FMNH 134544. Sarawak—119898-99, 129014, 129016-7, 129019-20, 148282-83, 158215- 18. External Features Very similar to larvae of montanum and nigrops in general body form and oral disk, but differing from them in colo- ration and in absence of glandular patches ventrally on HB. Narial rim low, in Bomean larvae one small middorsal projection flanked by. Please note that
