Comment
The epithet gerti is a noun in apposition, not a genitive, as noted in the original publication. Stuart, 2005, Herpetol. Rev., 36: 475, provided a record for Champasak Province, Laos. Bain, Nguyen, and Doan, 2007, Herpetol. Rev., 38: 108, provided records from Thua Thien-Hue and Quang Name provinces, Vietnam, and briefly discussed the range. Ohler, 2003, Alytes, 21: 23-42, tentatively regarded the specimens of Ophryophryne microstoma reported by Inger, Orlov, and Darevsky, 1999, Fieldiana, Zool., N.S.,, 92: 8, as Ophryophryne gerti.
