Comment

In the Limnonectes (Limnonectes) microdiscus group of Dubois, 1987 "1986", Alytes, 5: 63. Taxonomy discussed by Inger, 1966, Fieldiana, Zool., 52: 212-222. A number of former subspecies are now considered independent species: Limnonectes dammermani, Limnonectes palavanensis, Limnonectes finchi, and Limnonectes parva. See comment under Limnonectes tweediei. See account by Iskandar, 1998, Amph. Java Bali: 77, for population on Java. See identification table by Manthey and Grossmann, 1997, Amph. Rept. Südostasiens: 84-86, to compare this species with other ranids of the Sunda Shelf region.
