A NEW FROG (ANURA, DICROGLOSSIDAE), RELATED TO OCCIDOZYGA SEMIPALMATA SMITH, 1927, FROM THE EASTERN PENINSULA OF SULAWESI, INDONESIA

摘要

Occidozyga semipalmata is found to be unique based on the flattened finger and toe tips that lack circum-marginal grooves and in having a tongue with rounded tip. Another form, O. tompotika new species, is found at Mount Tompotika, Eastern Peninsula of Sulawesi, appears to be closely related to species from the Wallacean region and the Philippines. This is a medium sized species, toes and fingers with larger flattened tips lacking a circum-marginal groove and more extensive toe webbing compared to O.semipalmata. However these two species, together with O. floresiana, are retained within the genus and not assigned to Ingerana because they have most characters allied to the genus, especially by the lack of external tympanum and having a single bony protuberance at the lower jaw tip.
