Meristogenys jerboa
Species of frog / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Meristogenys jerboa is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It is endemic to western Sarawak in Borneo (East Malaysia).[2][3] Common names western torrent frog,[3] Matang torrent frog, and Gunther's Borneo frog have been coined for it.[2] Many cryptic species have been separated from this species. Based on mitochondrial DNA, current "true" Meristogenys jerboa still includes two major lineages. However, because the lineages occur in sympatry and do not differ in morphology, Shimada and colleagues elected to treat them as intraspecific variants.[4]
