Fejervarya triora is a species of frog belonging to the family Dicroglossidae. Its type locality is in Phu Chong-Na Yoi National Park, Ubon Ratchathani Province in the far east of Thailand, and it is only known from eastern Thailand, although it is not unlikely that it occurs in adjacent Laos too.[2] It has been found in a range of forested habitats.[1]
Description
This is a robustly built frog, females having a body length of up to 60 mm (2.4 in) in snout–vent length (adult males are thus far unknown). The warty upperparts are olive brown with green blotches, the underparts are greyish white. There is an orange spot on the lower half of the tympanum and yellow and black patterning on the legs. The iris is bronze-coloured. When compared to other Fejervarya species found in the region, F. triora can be distinguished from F. raja by its much smaller size and from both F. cancrivora and F. limnocharis by its broader head and the lack of distinct ridges along the back.[3]
The tadpole is mostly dark brown with a yellow line on the lower part of the tail and the front two thirds of the ventral fin pale.[3]
