Description
Philautus ingeri (Sharp-snouted Bush Frog) is a small to medium-sized frog, with a pointed, sharp-edged snout. It has been seen only in montane forests of western Sabah and northeastern Sarawak from 1300 to 1500 metres above the sea level. The Sharp-snouted Bush Frog has pale sandy brown colour, lighter on the sides and with a sharp dark streak on the side of the snout between the eye and the nostril. There is usually a dark triangle between the eyes and sometimes a concave-sided dark mark at the centre of the back. The tips of its fingers are expanded into wide, round or oval pads. There is a narrow web at the base of the fingers and a thin fringe of skin running out the fingers to the pads. The upper eyelid has two or three small bumps and several others are scattered on the back. There are one or two short, fleshy spines at the heel (Inger & Stuebing, 2005).
