Ventral aspect of left hand and foot, of Polypedates ranwellai sp. nov., female (not collected). Call type C call is also a multi note call composed of the same kind of notes described in the previous advertisement calls. The call structure is also quite similar with an introductory amplitude-modulated “Qua” note followed by a long pulsed “Qua” note and 2–3 “tok” notes. Additionally, a single short pulsed note is emitted at the end of each call after 1.35–1.77 s (n= 3) (Figure 8C & Table 2). The note variation of the first two notes is similar to that of call type A (Figure 8B & Table 2). Frequency ranges between 1412–2426 Hz (n= 3 calls) (Table 2). The peak frequencies corresponding to each note is given in Table 2. Natural history notes. Typical habitat: The new species was found in an area of about 5 km 2 of the Gilimale lowland rainforest in the Sabaragamuwa province of Sri Lanka. They were commonly found near forest edges with an open canopy for as four times as greater in number than in the closed canopy forest.
