About Chalcorana parvaccola (Inger, Stuart & Iskandar, 2009)

Chalcorana parvaccola is a species of relatively small frog. Adult males measure 28–38 mm (1.1–1.5 in) in snout–vent length, while adult females measure 38–43 mm (1.5–1.7 in). Individuals have a slender body and long legs, with a narrowly rounded snout. The tympanum is distinct, and it is larger in males than in females. The outer fingers bear large discs, with no webbing present between the fingers. Toe tips have discs that are smaller than those found on the fingers, and webbing between the toes is extensive. In preserved specimens, the dorsal surfaces and sides are brown. The sides of the head are darker, while the upper lip is lighter but covered in scattered melanophores. Small black spots are present on the dorsal surfaces. The venter is whitish and lightly covered in scattered melanophores. Most individuals do not have dark crossbars on the hind limbs. The webbing between the toes is black on its ventral side. This species occurs in pristine rainforests, disturbed rainforests, gardens, and artificial ponds near villages, at elevations ranging from 31–1,539 m (102–5,049 ft) above sea level. Breeding is presumed to occur in water. It is a widespread and locally common frog. Potential threats to it include pollution from human settlements, and the expansion of oil palm plantations and human settlements. It is found within several protected areas.
