Wikipedia Abstract

Hylarana raniceps, also known as the copper-cheeked frog, white-lipped frog, or Peters' Malaysian frog, is a species of true frog in the genus Hylarana. It is endemic to Borneo, including Brunei Darussalam, Kalimantan (Indonesia), and Sarawak (Malaysia), although it is likely to occur more widely. Previously mixed with Hylarana chalconota (treated as a synonym or subspecies) and believed to have much wider distribution, its range was delimited to Borneo in the revision of "Hylarana chalconota" complex by Robert Inger and colleagues in 2009.
