Pyxicephalus frithii Theobald, 1868, J. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, 37: 81. Types: Not stated, but presumably ZSIC, considered lost by Dubois, 1984, Alytes, 3: 154. Type locality: "Jessore", Bangladesh. Synonymy (with Pyxicephalus khasianus) by Stoliczka, 1872, Proc. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, 1872: 102. Considered a nomen dubium by Boulenger, 1882, Cat. Batr. Sal. Coll. Brit. Mus., Ed. 2: 7, and Dubois, 1984, Alytes, 3: 154 (who considered it likely to be either in Sphaerotheca [as Tomopterna] or Fejervarya). Considered incertae sedis within Fejervarya by Dubois, 1987 "1986", Alytes, 5: 57; without discussion. * Fejervarya frithii— Dubois and Ohler, 2000, Alytes, 18: 35; Fei, Ye, Jiang, and Xie, 2002, Herpetol. Sinica, 9: 92. COMMENT: Not associated with a known population of frogs; see Dubois and Ohler, 2000, Alytes, 18: 35. Previously considered incertae sedis within or synonymous with one of the members of Hoplobatrachus or Fejervarya (both considered subgenera of Limnonectes as the time) or Sphaerotheca by Dubois, 1987 "1986", Alytes, 5: 57, 60-61. Considered as "invalid" according to Matsui, Toda, and Ota, 2008 "2007", Curr. Herpetol., 26: 73.
