Abstract
Ansonia latidisca, is an endangered species of tropical bufonid (Inger et al. 2004), currently known from two locations in the northwestern corner of Borneo. Prior to our discovery, this species was known from only three individuals. The holotype, an adult male, was collected by Johann Gottfried Hallier (1868–1932), a botanical assistant at the Buitenzorg (at present Bogor) Herbarium, from the summit of Gunung Damus (Kalimantan, Indonesia), the paratype, a female, taken by Robert Walter Campbell Shelford (1872–1912), entomologist with the Sarawak Museum, from Gunung Penrissen (Sarawak, Malaysia), in addition to a third specimen from the latter locality, collected by Eric Georg Mjöberg (1882–1938), Curator of the Sarawak Museum.
