A rhacophorid tree frog from Sumatra that was once identified as Polypedates otilophus (Boulenger, 1893) is sufficiently divergent genetically and morphologically from topotypic specimens from Borneo as to be recognized as a distinct species. It is herein described as Polypedates pseudotilophus sp. nov. Th e Sumatran frogs can be distinguished easily from the Bornean population by the possession of a much more weakly developed supratympanic bony crest, smoother dorsal skin, and a large, hourglass-shaped dark marking, instead of longitudinal stripes on the dorsum.
Key Words: Cryptic species, Polypedates otilophus, Polypedates pseudotilophus sp. nov., Sumatra, taxonomy, Indonesia.
