title = "A new wide-headed fanged frog of the Limnonectes kuhlii group (Anura: Dicroglossidae) from western Borneo with a redescription of Rana conspicillata G{\"u}nther, 1872",
abstract = "We re-examined the type series of Rana conspicillata G{\"u}nther, 1872 from Matang in western Sarawak, Borneo and found it to consist of specimens of three distinct species that can be separated by qualitative morphological characters and mor-phometrics. We re-allocate one paralectotype to Limnonectes hikidai and another to a large-sized species from western Borneo that we describe as new. The new species is morphologically distinguished from all described species of the L. kuhlii group from the Sunda region by body size, extent of toe webbing, head size and odontoid shape. It differs genetically from all described species for which genetic information is available. In order to facilitate the further taxonomic revision of the L. kuhlii group on Borneo, we provide a detailed morphological redescription of the holotype of Rana conspicillata.",

note = "Funding Information: Mohd. Shabudin Sabki and Uning Paun (Sarawak Forest Department) gave advice on obtaining permits to conduct research on amphibians in the national parks (No. NPW.907.4.2(IV)-2, dated 14.01.2009) and to export collected specimens (No. 08575, dated 02.09.2009). Permits were kindly issued by Haji Len Talif Salleh. Jeff Streicher (BMNH), Stefan T. Hertwig and Beatrice Bl{\"o}chlinger (NMBE) provided working space and let us examine the material under their care or loaned specimens. Axel Hochkirch, Michael Veith and Stefan L{\"o}tters (Department of Biogeography, University of Trier) permitted the use of their laboratory facilities for the molecular analysis of tissue samples. We would like to thank Sabine Naber, Karin Fischer, and Petra Willems (Department of Biogeography, University of Trier) for various help during laboratory work.
