Limnonectes is a genus of fork-tongued frogs of 91 known species, but new ones are still being described occasionally. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] They are collectively known as fanged frogs because they tend to have unusually large teeth, which are small or absent in other frogs.
Limnonectes megastomias is a robust, very large-headed fanged frog. Adult males range from 40 to 123.7 mm SVL and the females measure 53.5 – 86.3 mm SVL. The head is somewhat longer than wide, and males have larger heads (41-56% of SVL) than females (39-45% of SVL). Males also have thick, elongated odontoid processes, which act as “fangs.”
