Comment
See Liu and Hu, 1961, Tailless Amph. China: 87-89. Discussed (as Scutiger boulengeri) by Liu, 1950, Fieldiana, Zool. Mem., 2: 181-185. See comment under Scutiger ningshanensis. Considered a member of Scutiger, not Oreolalax, by Zhao and Adler, 1993, Herpetol. China: 123, and therefore retained here although no discussion was offered. See brief account, map, and figure by Fei, 1999, Atlas Amph. China: 78-79, who also retained this taxon in Scutiger. Fei and Ye, 2001, Color Handbook Amph. Sichuan: 120-121, also provided a brief account and illustration. In the Scutiger (Scutiger) chintingensis group of Fei, Ye, Huang, Jiang, and Xie, 2005, Illust. Key Chinese Amph.: 63. See illustration, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 441. Fei, Hu, Ye, and Huang, 2009, Fauna Sinica, Amph. 2: 168-172, provided an account, spot-map, and illustration of the holotype.
