The tadpole of Quasipaa fasciculispina (Inger, 1970) from southeastern Thailand, with the description of its buccal anatomy

We provide a description of the larva of Quasipaa fasciculispina (Inger, 1970) from the type locality: Khao Soi Dao Wildlife Sanctuary, Chanthaburi Province, Thailand. The buccal features are also described. This tadpole is compared to the other known tadpoles of the genus Quasipaa Dubois, 1992. It differs from them by the following combination of characters: tadpole of large size, the largest after Q. verrucospinosa (Bourret, 1937); KRF 2:5+5/1+1:2; three rows of papillae on the lower labium; and numerous black spots on the tail without a transverse bar between tail and body. This tadpole is used for consumption by local people.
