Leptobrachella hamidi, commonly called the white-bellied slender litter frog, is a frog species in the family Megophryidae.[1] It is endemic to Borneo, where it can be found both in western Sarawak, Malaysia, and Kalimantan, Indonesia.[3] Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland hilly rainforests and rocky streams. It is threatened by habitat loss from clear-cutting for oil palm plantations.[1]

Among Leptobrachella, this species is among the larger members: males measure 28–31 mm (1.1–1.2 in) in snout-vent length and females 36–43 mm (1.4–1.7 in) in SVL. It has a slender head and body. Its back, including on top of snout, is clearly marked with discrete blotches; chest and abdomen are without large dark markings.[2]
