__NOTOC__ ''Rhacophorus tunkui'' is a disputed species of frog in the moss frog family (Rhacophoridae). It is known only from the southern and southeastern parts of Peninsular Malaysia, but might be more widespread. It is often treated as a junior synonym of ''R prominanus'' (Malayan flying frog), but this seems to be premature; actually, it appears to be a parapatric cryptic sister species. ''R. dulitensis'' from Borneo and Sumatra is probably another close relative. Specimens assigned to ''R. tunkui'' are reported from the Gunong Panti hills, Sungai Jasin and Ulu Endau in Johor, and Kuala Tahan and Taman Negara National Park in Pahang.〔Tzi Ming (2004)〕 ==Description〔== This is a mid-sized tree frog with a jade to turquoise green and somewhat translucent back. Specimens are two-thirds the size of Malayan gliding frogs, i.e. females attain a body length of up to , while the smaller males measure 4.2 cm or less. A red blotch occurs on the web between the fourth and fifth hind toes. Tadpoles are greyish-green and have two or three round, black spots on each side of their tail bases. Towards metamorphosis, they become greener. They lose their tails when they are about 26–30 mm long, and freshly emergent juveniles measure about 8.5–11 mm. The labial tooth row formula (LTRF) is 5(2-5)/3 in small tadpoles and 6(2-6)/3 in older ones. Malayan gliding frog tadpoles are one-fifth longer and lack the black spots; the emergent juveniles can measure up to 15 mm. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rhacophorus tunkui」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
