Limnonectes deinodon (Corrugated Frog) is a small species which inhabits shallow puddles and clear streams within primary rainforest and freshwater swamp forest. It occurs from the lowlands to at least 1500 metres above sea level.

Its body is stout, its hind legs thick and muscular, its snout is rounded and its eyes are medium in size. Its colouration comprises a dorsal surface which is orange-brown or medium brown with darker mottling, and a pale underside. Its skin is distinctly corrugated, as shown in Figure 4.

This species ranges widely from India and Myanmar through Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia. It also occurs in Borneo, but is absent from Singapore.
