Abstract

We report the first country record of Leptobrachella eos (Ohler, Wollenberg, Grosjean, Hendrix, Vences, Ziegler & Dubois, 2011) from Thailand, based on one specimen collected from Chom poo Phuka nature trail, Bo Kluea District. Morphologically, the specimen displayed good agreement with the original descriptions provided for L. eos. Phylogenetically, the specimens clustered according to the sequences of type locality of L. eos. Notably, our discovery increases the number of Leptobrachella species known to occur in Thailand to nine.
