About Ansonia longidigita Inger, 1960
The specific epithet longidigita translates to "long-fingered", a name that refers to the long, slender fingers characteristic of this species. Males of Ansonia longidigita have a snout–vent length of 40–50 mm (1.6–2.0 in), while females can reach a maximum snout–vent length of 70 mm (2.8 in). This species has a slender body form, and its tympanum is clearly visible. The dorsal skin is covered in many small, round warts. Tadpoles of this species are very small, typically measuring less than 15 mm (0.59 in) in total length, and have dark blotches across a cream-colored base body. Ansonia longidigita is a common toad that lives in mid-elevation hills. Adult individuals inhabit the forest floor or low vegetation. The species breeds in small, clear, rocky-bottomed brooks and streams; males call from boulders in the stream or from vegetation alongside the stream. Ansonia longidigita is threatened by habitat loss from logging, as well as by the stream siltation that logging causes.
