This charming toad species
inhabits the leaf litter of primary and secondary lowland forest, but is
occasionally found in heavily altered habitats such as rubber and other
plantations. Largey diurnal, it is more often heard than seen : its call is
a dual-syllabic gentle rasping sound.
The dorsal surface and flanks are brownish-orange, and the ventral surface
pale orange to whitish. The head is relatively small. The parotid gland is
long and slender, starting from behind the eye and extending along most of
the body.
The Four-ridged Toad occurs in Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, Sumatra and
Borneo.

The head is relatively small and
