Abavorana Luctuosa
''Abavorana luctuosa'', also known as the Malaysian frog, mahogany frog or purple frog, is a species of true frog. It is found in the Malay Peninsula (Malaysia and southernmost Thailand) and in Borneo (Indonesia, Malaysia). It was formerly placed in the genus ''Hylarana''. ''Abavorana luctuosa'' is a leaf-litter frog from lowland and submontane primary rainforests, including somewhat disturbed habitats. Adult frogs disperse widely through the forest and breed in rain pools. It is reddish to chocolate brown, bordered by a narrow cream dorsolateral line on each side, beginning at the tip of the snout to above the Cloaca, vent.

Glyphoglossus Volzi
''Glyphoglossus volzi'', also known as Sumatra squat frog, is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Sumatra, Indonesia. The specific name ''volzi'' honours Dr Walter Volz, a Swiss zoologist and traveller. ''Glyphoglossus volzi'' is a poorly known species occurring in lowland primary forest at elevations of above sea level. It is only known from few specimens, but this likely reflects the lack of suitable sampling methods for what is likely a fossorial species. It probably lays its eggs in pools of standing water on the forest floor. The main threat to this species is clear-cutting of lowland tropical rainforest for oil palm plantations, small-holder agriculture, and wood extraction. It is present in the Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park is a national park in Sumatra, Indonesia. The park located along the Bukit Barisan mountain range, has a total area of 3,568 km2, and spans three provinces: Lampung, Bengkulu, ...

Ichthyophis Biangularis
''Ichthyophis biangularis'', the angular caecilian or Metang caecilian, is a species of amphibian in the family Ichthyophiidae endemic to Borneo (Malaysia): it is only known from its type locality, Mount Matang in Sarawak, where the holotype was collected in 1872 by Alfred Hart Everett. New specimens were collected from the type locality only in 2009. In addition, one larval sample was collected from the same region and identified as likely ''Ichthyophis biangularis'' using genetic methods.

Common Green Frog
The common green frog (''Hylarana erythraea'') is a frog species of in the true frog family (biology), family Ranidae; some sources still use the old name ''Rana erythraea''. It lives in Southeast Asia and is also known as green paddy frog, red-eared frog, common greenback or leaf frog. The last name, however, commonly refers to the Neotropical tree frogs which make up the subfamily Phyllomedusinae. These are not closely related to ''H. erythraea'', belonging to family Hylidae instead. Taxonomy and systematics Long placed in ''Rana (genus), Rana'', it is only as closely related to this genus as is e.g. ''Amolops''. Consequently, the genus ''Hylarana'', of which the common green frog is the type species, warrants re-establishment. ''Hylarana'' seems to form a clade together with the similarly revalidated genera ''Pulchrana'' and ''Sylvirana'', and presumably also ''Hydrophylax (frog), Hydrophylax'' as well as some species presently placed in ''Pelophylax'' (e.g. Kokarit Frog, ''"P ...
