Comment
Thought to be close to Ingerana in the original publication, though tentatively retained in Rana because of incongruencies in certain diagnostic characters. Moved to Ingerana in this catalogue due to the reformulation of Rana to a well-diagnosed group by subsequent literature. See map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status (as Rana charlesdarwini) in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 501.
