Diagnosis	Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers. These details, e.g. detailed descriptions or comparisons (about 1470 characters), are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details.
Comment	Naultinus manukanus apparently forms a cline with populations of N. rudis. Thus, this may be a case of "speciation in progress".
Etymology	Named after Latin rudis, rough or coarse, apparently in allusion to the rough scalation.
