    SPECIES ACCOUNT AMPHIBIA I. Family MEGOPHRYIDAE Megophrys acera s Horned Frog This was a leaf litter frog, which inhabited forest floor of closed-canopy evergreen forests at Gunung Tujuh. It occurs from the lowlands at about 750 meters asl up to mountain forests over 1500 meters asl (Mistar, 2003). At Gunung Tujuh it was found at elevation 1200 meters asl. This is a rare species, which was only found at Gunung Tujuh survey site. This species is known from Peninsular Thailand through most of Peninsular Malaysia (Berry, 1975) and Sumatra (Mistar, 2003). Figure 21. M. aceras from Gunung Tujuh (Photograph by J. Holden). Megophrys nasuta Bornean Horned Frog, Malayan Horned Frog, Horned Toad, Large Horned Frog It was a leaf litter frog, which inhabited intact lowland and sub mountain rainforest, generally near forest streams. Adults are terrestrial in habits, but tadpoles live in clear forest streams. It occurred about 500 meters asl up to 1000 meters asl. It was regularly encountered, and its characteristic call was frequently heard in suitable habitat. It was uncommon in Tapan, Lumayang, Sungai Durian, Muara Kambang, Muara Sako, Muara Labuh and Lubuk Selasih survey sites.
