Comment

In the Limnonectes (Limnonectes) kuhlii group of Dubois, 1987 "1986", Alytes, 5: 63. Considered a synonym of Rana nitida by Kiew, 1975 "1974", Malayan Nat. J., 28: 107-109, but this synonymy was disputed by Dring, 1979, Bull. Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.), Zool., 34: 204-206, who posited that this species might be more closely related to Rana microdisca. See account by Bourret, 1942, Batr. Indochine: 284. 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. See statement of geographic range, habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 629.
