Claim: Ingerophrynus gollum is wrongly believed to have been collected in closed-canopy lowland forest, when males were heard calling from a swampy area and it is well protected.
Evidence: The type series was collected in closed-canopy lowland forest (46 m (151 ft) above sea level) in the early evening following brief periods of afternoon precipitation. Males were heard calling from a swampy area centered on a slow-moving, shallow stream. It is well protected within the national park.
