- Abstract
We describe and photographically document the larval development from egg to metamorph in four species of anurans from northeastern Thailand: Duttaphrynus melanostictus (Bufonidae), Occidozyga lima (Dicroglossidae), Kaloula pulchra (Microhylidae), and Polypedates megacephalus (Rhacophoridae). Changes in snout-vent length, total length, and in relative tail length (ratio tail length/snout-vent length) are reported for each developmental stage. We also provide diagrams illustrating the temporal pattern of development in these species except for O. lima. Furthermore, a detailed description of the tadpole in stage 36 is provided for each of these species.
