"Staurois tuberilinguis" is a species in the true frog family (Ranidae). It is wwidespread on Borneo.

Its snout-vent length is 27–31 mm in males and 33–38 mm in females. It has a markedly slender head with a pointed snout and a rather short fourth finger, distinguishing it from its relatives. Its vomer lacks teeth, and it has a lingual papilla. The eggs are unpigmented.Matsui "et al." (2007)]

Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and rivers. It is becoming rare due to habitat loss.

A smaller relative, only known from the Crocker Range in Sabah (Malaysia), was described as "Staurois parvus". Later, it was considered a junior synonym of "S. tuberilinguis" [Inger "et al." (2004)] , but more recently it was confirmed to be distinct according to morphological and DNA sequence data.
