See Liu and Hu, 1962, Acta Zool. Sinica, 14 (Supplement): 80-82; Bourret, 1942, Batr. Indochine: 161-162; Yang, 1991, Amph. Fauna of Yunnan: 64-65; Ye, Fei, and Hu, 1993, Rare and Economic Amph. China: 176; and Fei, 1999, Atlas Amph. China: 124-125, for accounts. Thailand is range according to Khonsue and Thirakhupt, 2001, Nat. Hist. J. Chulalongkorn Univ., 1: 75, although this needs to be confirmed. Zhang and Wen, 2000, Amph. Guangxi: 51, provided an account for Guangxi. Orlov, Murphy, Ananjeva, Ryabov, and Ho, 2002, Russ. J. Herpetol., 9: 84, noted that records exist for northern and eastern Laos. See account by Ohler, 2003, Alytes, 21: 31-34. Chan-ard, 2003, Photograph. Guide Amph.
