Xenophrys longipes (known under various common names: Malacca spadefoot toad, red legged spine-eyed frog, red-legged horn frog, or slender-legged horned frog) is a species of amphibian in the Megophryidae family. It is found in the Malay Peninsula (continental Malaysia and southern Thailand and Burma). Records from Cambodia and Vietnam are doubtful.[2] Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.[1]
Male Xenophrys longipes grow to snout-vent length of 39–47 mm (1.5–1.9 in) and females to 49–65 mm (1.9–2.6 in).[3]
