Comment
Redescribed by Fei, Ye, and Huang, 1992, Zool. Res., Kunming, 13: 5. Original description translated into English by Huang, Lathrop, and Murphy, 1998, Smithson. Herpetol. Inform. Serv., 118. Considered conspecific with Xenophrys lateralis by Yang, Liu, Rao, and He, 1994, Zool. Res., Kunming, 15: 124-130. Fei, 1999, Atlas Amph. China: 108-109, provided a brief account, map, and figure. Fei and Ye, 2000, Cultum Herpetol. Sinica, 8: 59-63, discussed the distinctiveness of this taxon (as Megophrys glandulosa). Jiang, Yuan, Xie, and Zheng, 2003, Zool. Res., Kunming, 24: 241-248, suggested that this species might warrant a new generic name to prevent Brachytarsophrys and Atympanophrys from rendering Xenophrys (their Megophrys) paraphyletic. Ao, Bordoloi, and Ohler, 2003, Zoos' Print J., 18: 1117-1125, provided a specific locality for Nagaland, northeastern India. Fei, Hu, Ye, and Huang, 2009, Fauna Sinica, Amph. 2: 363-370, provided an account, illustration of the holotype, and spot map for China. Wogan, Vindum, Wilkinson, Koo, Slowinski, Win, Thin, Kyi, Oo, Lwin, and Shein, 2008, Hamadryad, 33: 84, provided the first record for Kachin state, Myanmar. Mathew and Sen, 2010, Pict. Guide Amph. NE India: 54-55, provided a brief characterization and photograph. Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2010, Colored Atlas of Chinese Amph.: 189, provided a brief account (as Megophrys glandulosa) including photographs.
