Аннотация: The external larval morphology of three species of the microhylid genus Kaloula (K. indochinensis, K. mediolineata,and K. pulchra) inhabiting the southern and central regions of Vietnam is studied. The similarities and the distinctivefeatures of their morphometric characters, the structure of their mouthparts and spiracle, and their coloration are analysedwith consideration of the geographic variability. A description of the tadpole of K. indochinensis is provided for thefirst time. The interspecific comparison revealed the shape of the mouthparts and the spiracle as the most reliablediagnostic characters for the field identification of the coexistent Kaloula tadpoles. The first description of the larvalchondrocranium and hyobranchial apparatus of K. indochinensis demonstrates a set of morphological traits characteristicof suspension-feeding microhylids. Some developmental parameters (egg number and size, duration of embryonic andlarval development, larvae size and stage at hatching) are provided for K. indochinensis and K. pulchra.
