New records and geographic distribution of Microhyla gadjahmadai Atmaja et al., 2018 (Amphibia, Microhylidae) from West Sumatra, Indonesia

Abstract

The last report of Microhyla gadjahmadai was recorded from Vila Hijau on Curup, Bengkulu Province, Indonesia. Here, we report this species from the conservation area and palm-oil plantation of PT. Tidar Kerinci Agung, Solok Selatan and Dharmasraya Regency, West Sumatra Province. These new records extend the known distribution by 213 km to the north-northwest from the nearest previously known occurrence. These finds add to the information known about this species and as an indicator to support management for further conservation strategy of the forest.
