Kalophrynus robinsoni (common names: Robinson's grainy frog, Pahang Mountain sticky frog) is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Pahang in central Peninsular Malaysia. [1] [2] The specific name robinsoni honours Herbert C. Robinson, a British zoologist and ornithologist. [3] [4] This poorly known species has not been reported since 1922. [1]
Males measure 17–18 mm (0.67–0.71 in) and female(s) 18 mm (0.71 in) in snout–vent length; it is uncertain whether these are juveniles or adults. The snout is short and truncate. The tympanum is visible and about two-thirds of the eye diameter. The toes are one-third webbed and have bluntly pointed tips. The dorsum is light brown and has an elongated X-shaped mark, extending from the eyelids to the groin. The venter is yellowish with brown spots and speckles. [3]
Its natural habitat is, presumably, primary rainforest. The type locality is within the Taman Negara National Park. [1]
