Ansonia
leptopus
tadpoles are very distinct. Black markings on a
light background make the tadpole of this species
unique. Only Ansonia
longidigita
larvae are to some degree similar.
Tadpoles of this species are small (< 20 mm). They are associated with submerged vegetation or leaf litter, and on rocks in stream sections with slow current. The oral sucker is less well-developed than in other Ansonia larvae.
