A new species of the dicroglossid frog genus Limnonectes is described from Ubon Ratchathani Province, northeastern Thailand. Limnonectes lauhachindai sp. nov. differs from its congeners by having males with a low-profiled, U-shaped caruncle with free posterior margin that completely occupies, but does not extend beyond, the interobital region. The new species is most closely related to L. gyldenstolpei and L. dabanus. Its description brings the total number of caruncle-bearing species of Limnonectes to five.
一种新的叉舌蛙科林蛙属物种在泰国东北部乌汶府被发现并描述。劳氏林蛙（Limnonectes lauhachindai sp. nov.）与同属其他物种的区别在于，雄性具有低轮廓的U形肉质瘤，其后缘游离，完全占据眶间区域，但不超出该区域。该新物种与吉氏林蛙（L. gyldenstolpei）和达班林蛙（L. dabanus）关系最为密切。它的描述使林蛙属中具有肉质瘤的物种总数达到了五个。
