描述了产于马来西亚婆罗洲沙捞越西南部的一种新的巨角蟾。在外观上，大理细齿蟾（Leptolalax marmoratus sp. nov.）hamidi也来自砂拉越西南部，但与之不同的是mtDNA序列，更大的体型和更高的广告呼叫的优势频率。支持在婆罗洲的一个地方存在一个以上的Leptolalax物种的假设。新物种的发现使婆罗洲已知的Leptolalax物种数量增加到9种，该岛被认为是该属的多样化中心之一。
A new megophryid species is described from southwestern Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. In appearance, Leptolalax marmoratus sp. nov. is most similar to L. hamidi also from southwestern Sarawak, but differs from it by mtDNA sequence, larger body size, and higher dominant frequency of advertisement call. The assumption that more than one species of Leptolalax coexist at one locality in Borneo is supported. The finding of the new species raises the species number of Leptolalax known from Borneo to nine, and the island is thought to be one of the diversification centers of the genus.
