Leptolalax (Leptolalax) kecil — Delorme, Dubois, Grosjean, and Ohler, 2006, Alytes, 24: 67.

Leptolalax kecil Matsui, Daicus, Norhayati, and Yong, 2009, Zool. Sci., Tokyo, 26: 244. Holotype: KUHE 52440, by original designation. Type locality: "Trail 11, Tanah Rata, Cameron Highlands, State of Pahang, Malaysia (4°28′40″N, 101°21′57″E, 1522 m a.s.l.)".

English Names

None noted.

Distribution

Known only from the type locality (Tanah Rata, Cameron Highlands, Pahang, West Malaysia); presumably more widely distributed in these highlands (see comment).

Comment

Chan, Daicus, and Norhayati, 2010, Russ. J. Herpetol., 17: 205, suggested that the dubious records of Leptolalax gracilis from Gunung Tahan and Gunung Benom actually represent this species.
