IUCN Red List Category: DD (Draft)
Animalia | Chordata | Vertebrata | Amphibia | Anura | Ranidae | Hylarana | Hylarana albotuberculata |
Taxonomic notes: Moved from the genus Hylarana by Fuiten et al. (2011).
This species is known only from very few localities on Leyte, Samar, and Mindanao Islands in the Philippines.
Moderately-sized numbers of samples in museums suggest that it might be common in preferred high-altitude stream habitats. However, there is very little field information regarding this species' population status.
It inhabits undisturbed and disturbed streams and rivers in lower montane and lowland forests.
The most important threats to this species include deforestation through logging, habitat conversion to agriculture, and the pollution of streams and rivers due to agricultural run-off.
Some populations are protected in national parks, although more protected areas need to be established on Leyte to protect the remaining forest on this island.
Listed as Data Deficient in view of continuing uncertainties as to its extent of occurrence, status and ecological requirements.
