Comment

Discussed by Bourret, 1942, Batr. Indochine: 378-379, as Cornufer tenasserimensis. See also accounts by Berry, 1975, Amph. Fauna Peninsular Malaysia: 87-88, and Taylor, 1962, Univ. Kansas Sci. Bull., 43: 459-462. See comment under Occidozyga borealis. Variously regarded by some authors as a Micrixalus or Platymantis. Nutphund, 2001, Amph. Thailand: 103, provided a brief characterization and photograph (which Ohler, 2003, Alytes, 21: 103, regarded as of Rana erythraea). Chan-ard, 2003, Photograph. Guide Amph. Thailand: 114-115, provided a very brief account, map for Thailand, and photograph. Chuaynkern, Simngam, Chuaynkern, and Duengkae, 2012, Herpetol. Rev., 43: 440, provided a record for Chiang Mai Province, northwestern Thailand, and commented on the range.
