Description The Samkos bush frog is relatively small, around in snout-to-vent length.http://www.geo-bio.fr/cuora_amb/_JP108.pdf It has a smooth body and translucent skin; its blood is externally visible. It has green-colored blood and turquoise-hued bones, a result of a pigment in waste products, biliverdin.
Distribution The species is found in the jungle terrain of the Cardamom Mountains in southwestern Cambodia. It was found in Pursat Province in the Phnom Samkos area at above sea level.
Conservation status F. samkosensis is listed as "vulnerable" by the IUCN. Human expansion threatens the species, notably via a new, wide, graded road through the middle of the type locality.
