Comment

Inger, Stuebing, and Tan, 1995, Raffles Bull. Zool., 43: 115-132, provided a detailed description and diagnosis to distinguish this species from Leptolalax gracilis, as well as a redefinition of the range. See identification table by Manthey and Grossmann, 1997, Amph. Rept. Südostasiens: 68-69, to compare this species with other megophryids in the Sunda Shelf region. Malkmus, Manthey, Vogel, Hoffmann, and Kosuch, 2002, Amph. Rept. Mount Kinabalu: 100-102, provided an account. See statement of geographic range, habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 624-625.
