''Ansonia'' is a genus of true toads found in south India, northern Thailand, Malay Peninsula, Tioman Island, Borneo, and Mindanao (Philippines). These small forest species spawn in streams and have torrent-adapted tadpole A tadpole or polliwog (also spelled pollywog) is the Larva, larval stage in the biological life cycle of an amphibian. Most tadpoles are fully Aquatic animal, aquatic, though some species of amphibians have tadpoles that are terrestrial animal, ...s. Common name stream toads has been coined for the genus, although individual species are also being referred to as slender toads. The genus was named by Stoliczka after the governor of Penang, Colonel Edward Anson. Species There are currently over 36 species in this genus: References External links * taxo''Ansonia''at http://www.eol.org. * Taxo''Ansonia''at https://web.archive.org/web/20160606043808/http://www.itis.gov/index.html.

Ansonia Latirostra
''Ansonia latirostra'' is a species of toads in the family Bufonidae.

Ansonia Latidisca
''Ansonia latidisca'', commonly called the Sambas stream toad or Bornean rainbow toad, is a small true toad rediscovered in 2011 after being unseen since 1924. It is endemic to Borneo (Indonesia and Malaysia). Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forests and rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss. Description The three specimens known as ''A. latidasca'' are small, ranging in size from in length. They are also nocturnal. They have long spindly limbs and variegated dorsal skin "splattered in bright green, purple, and red." The colorful spots on the dorsum are not flat but "pebbly" and have been compared to warts. Amphibian expert Robin Moore told National Geographic that such skin on a toad "usually indicates the presence of poison glands ... You probably don't want to put this in your mouth." Moore was the initiator of Conservation International's Search for Lost Frogs. Herpetologist Indraneil Das, leader of the 2011 team that rediscovered the toad, called its col ...

The exact threats are unknown but are likely forest loss for logging and agricultural expansion. Description ''Ansonia kraensis'' males measure and females in snout–vent length. Tympanum is visible. Dorsum is brown with darker markings, and has small and minute warts, some of them with orange-yellow tips. Limbs have orange-yellow crossbars.
