Meristogenys whiteheadi is a species of frog in the family Ranidae.[3] It is endemic to Borneo and found in both Indonesia (Kalimantan) and Malaysia (western Sabah).[1] Meristogenys stigmachilus and Meristogenys stenocephalus, described as new species in 2011, were formerly included in this species.[1][3] Owing to the difficulty of distinguishing these species under field conditions, the exact range of this species is uncertain.[1] Its common name is Whitehead's Borneo frog[1][3] or Whitehead's torrent frog.[4]
