摘要

摘要：我们对白蛙蝌蚪（蛙科）进行了扩展描述，包括Gosner第26-42阶段的外部线性形态计量学和染色。该描述基于加蓬东南部巴特凯高原国家公园收集的材料。白天活动的蝌蚪在生活中是惊人的亮橙色，这种颜色为它们生活的单宁水提供了有效的伪装。我们还提供了所有描述的Amnirana蝌蚪的比较表。A.albolabris的蝌蚪在生活中可以通过其独特的颜色来识别，或者在防腐剂中可以通过七个突出的皮肤腺来识别，这些皮肤腺被认为含有防御毒素。

Detailed description and observations of the tadpole of Amnirana albolabris (Anura: Ranidae) from southeastern Gabon

ABSTRACT We provide an expanded description of the tadpole of Amnirana albolabris (Ranidae) that includes external linear morphometrics and colouration across a developmental series ranging from Gosner stages 26–42. This description is based on material collected in Batéké Plateau National Park in south-eastern Gabon. The diurnal tadpoles are strikingly bright orange in life, a colouration that provides effective crypsis for the tannic waters in which they live. We also provide a comparative table for all of the described Amnirana tadpoles. The tadpole of A. albolabris can be identified in life by its unique colouration or in preservative by the seven prominent skin glands, assumed to contain defensive toxins.
