Leptobrachella gracilis, commonly called the slender litter frog, is a frog species in the family Megophryidae.[1] It is endemic to northern Borneo: Brunei, Kalimantan (Indonesia), and Sarawak (Malaysia). Earlier records from the Malay Peninsula and Thailand refer to other species (at least Leptobrachella platycephala, an unnamed species, and possibly Leptobrachella melanoleuca).[2] Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forests, moist montane forests, and rivers. It is becoming rare due to habitat loss.[1]
