一个神秘的婆罗洲激流蛙属Meristogenys，这是不同的遗传和形态从所有已知的同源物，描述了从沙捞越西部，东马来西亚（婆罗洲）的山溪。该种与模式种M.跳鼠与之相似，但在成虫颜色和幼虫形态上明显不同，如角齿式和尾鳍上的腺体。新种的雌性比同域分布的M具有更大更少的卵。跳鼠，这表明这些物种之间显着不同的生殖特征。提供了该属已知种幼虫检索表。
A cryptic Bornean torrent frog of the genus Meristogenys, which is divergent genetically and morphologically from all known congeners, is described from mountain streams of western Sarawak, East Malaysia (Borneo). The species occurs sympatrically with the type species of the genus, M. jerboa, but apparently differs from it in adult coloration and larval morphology, such as keratodont formulae and glands in tail fins. Females of the new species possess much larger and fewer eggs than in sympatric M. jerboa, suggesting significantly different reproductive traits between these species. A key to larvae of known species of the genus is provided.
