The Sumatran puddle frog (Occidozyga sumatrana) is a species of frog in the Dicroglossidae family. It might be endemic to Indonesia. However, it has often been confused with Occidozyga laevis, and was also for long considered to be its junior synonym. The true distribution of this species is therefore poorly known but likely to be wider (perhaps from India through Malaysia to southern China).[2] Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forests, rivers, intermittent freshwater marshes, and canals and ditches. It is threatened by habitat loss.[1]
