Abstract

The southern slopes of Mount Slamet are the upstream areas of many rivers, which become the breeding habitat of Anuran. Anuran tadpole species richness can indicate the diversity of Anuran in the area and should be considered as important as the adult Anuran species richness. Moreover, the sampling of tadpoles is more convenient since the tadpoles are usually localized in the water bodies. There is no data of tadpole diversity in the upstream area of Pelus River, Limpakuwus, Sumbang, Banyumas. Therefore, this study was done to complete the data of tadpole species richness on the upstream of Pelus River and support the Anuran diversity data on the southern slope of Mount Slamet. The research was done by a breeding sites survey method along the upstream area of Pelus River, Limpakuwus, Sumbang, Banyumas from February to August 2021. The sample of tadpoles was taken by opportunistic encounter search on the potential habitat of tadpoles, such as pool, creek, and river. Tadpole sampling was done for four hours (08.00 – 12.00), and all the tadpoles were identified at the laboratory. The tadpole (ordo Anura) species richness on the Pelus River upstream consisted of ten species from five families. Namely Limnonectes kuhlii (family Dicroglossidae), Leptobrachium hasseltii (family Megophryidae), Megophrys montana (family Megophryidae), Microhyla achatina (family Microhylidae), Odorrana hosi (family Ranidae), Chalcorana chalconota (family Ranidae), and Feihyla vittiger (family Rhacophoridae), Polypedates pseudotilophus (family Rhacophoridae), Rhacophorus margaritifer (family Rhacophoridae), Rhacophorus reinwardtii (family Rhacophoridae). The tadpoles of F. vittiger and P. pseudotilophus were new records of tadpole species on the southern slope of Mount Slamet.
