See original publication for discussion of confusion of this species with Fejervarya limnocharis. Anders, 2002, in Schleich and Kästle (eds.), Amph. Rept. Nepal: 244-246, provided an account for the Nepal population. Ao, Bordoloi, and Ohler, 2003, Zoos' Print J., 18: 1117-1125, provided records for Nagaland, northeastern India. Ningombam and Bordoloi, 2007, Zoos' Print J., 22: 2688-2690, provided a record for Manipur, northeastern India.
