Theloderma licin, also known as the smooth frog and the white-backed bug-eyed frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae found in peninsular Malaysia, southern Thailand, and Indonesia's Sumatra island.[2][3][4][5] It inhabits lowland to montane forests. It can be found in water filled tree holes, bamboo cuts, or man-made objects like metal pipes.
Appearance
The adult male frog measures about 28.0 – 30.1 mm in snout-vent length and the adult female 27.5 – 31.2 mm long. The skin of the dorsum is white-brown with darker spots and marks. The chin is brown. The iris is red in color.[4]
Etymology
Scientists named this frog licin from the Malay language word for "smooth." This is because the frog has smooth skin.[4]
Young
Scientists infer that this frog breeds in water-filled tree holes like its congeners.[1]
