The taxonomic status of the ranid frog    Abavorana   luctuosa    (Peters, 1871) was investigated using a combination of molecular and morphological data. The analyses revealed that    A.   luctuosa    sensu lato  is composed of two species in Borneo. One of these species agrees with the description of    Rana   decorata    Mocquard, 1890 which is resurrected in the combination    Abavorana   decorata    comb. nov.  (Mocquard, 1890).    Abavorana   decorata    is recovered as the sister lineage to the remainder of    Abavorana    and differs by a 16.0–17.0 % uncorrected pairwise sequence divergence from its congeners    A.   nazgul    and    A.   luctuosa   , respectively. It is distinguishable morphologically from    A.   luctuosa    and    A.   nazgul    by its ventral pattern (bold, black and white reticulations on its venter along with bold banding on the underside of hind limbs vs. generally immaculate and spotted in the latter two species), and a prominent white streak beneath the eye and/or tympanum extending to the corner of the jaw.    Abavorana   decorata    further differs from    A.   luctuosa    by having a significantly wider head and snout, larger interorbital and tympanum diameters, longer femur in both sexes, and various combinations of other mensural characters. Both species are sympatric in Borneo and this discovery adds to a growing number of widespread Sundaic species shown to be species complexes with distinct forms in Borneo.
