Rowley's
Leaf-litter Frog (Leptobrachella rowleyae) is described recently in Son Tra Peninsula,
Son Tra Nature Reserve, Da Nang City, Vietnam
This beautiful
frog is a patrimony honouring Jodi J. L. Rowley, an amphibian biologist in Australian
Museum (Sydney), who greatly contributed to the knowledge on Indochinese
amphibians and the genus Leptolalax in particular,
describing two-thirds of Indochinese species of Leptolalax.
The
project is led by Nguyen Thanh Luan-a scientific officer of Asian Turtle
Program of Indo-Myanmar Conservation under a cooperation between other
international researchers.
