Taxonomy [top]

Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family
ANIMALIA CHORDATA AMPHIBIA ANURA DICROGLOSSIDAE

Scientific Name: Ingerana baluensis
Species Authority: (Boulenger, 1896)
Synonym/s:
Ingerana sariba (Shelford, 1905)
Taxonomic Notes: This species probably does not belong in the genus Ingerana. It should probably be assigned to a new genus in the family Ceratobatrachidae, but we retain it in the genus Ingerana in the Dicroglossidae, pending resolution of this problem. We follow Inger and Tan (1996) in considering Ingerana sariba to be a synonym of this species.

Justification:
Listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, presumed large population, and because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category.

Geographic Range [top]

Range Description: This species is known only from northern and western Borneo. It probably occurs more widely than current records suggest, especially in areas between known sites. It is present at altitudes of 100-900m asl.

Systems: Terrestrial; Freshwater

Threats [top]

Major Threat(s): Deforestation is the most serious threat to this species.

Conservation Actions [top]

Conservation Actions: The species is present in at least five protected areas. More needs to be learned of breeding habits and subpopulation sizes.
