time in Bangladesh

A total of 26 species of amphibians are found in Bangladesh of which five species are in the family Rhacophoridae (Khan 2004). The number of amphibians might be found to be more, however, if the survey could be done properly. Recently, a survey was conducted in the Lawachara National Park (24 0 19.682'N & 91 0 47.377'E) One specimen of Chiromantis vittatus was collected from the leaf of a bush about seven feet in height from the ground. Measurements were taken by a digital slide caliper with an accuracy of 0.02mm. Total length (SVL) of the frog 25mm. Vomerine tooth absent. Snout pointed, projecting slightly beyond the lower jaw, nostril nearer the end of the snout than the eye; eye diameter (3mm) larger than the tympanum diameter (0.5mm); fingers with rudimentary webbing. No webbing between the first and second fingers. Between the rest of the fingers as follows: II2½ - 3III2½ - 2IV, but the toe three-fourth webbed. The finger and toe disc pads circular with circum-marginal grooves. Sub-articular tubercles well developed.
