Comment

See Inger, 1954, Fieldiana, Zool., 33: 416-420, for discussion of Philippine populations. Das, 2007, Amph. Rept. Brunei: 41, provided a photograph and a brief account for a population in Brunei. Matsui, Nishikawa, Belabut, Norhayati, and Yong, 2012, Zootaxa, 3155: 38-46, noted that many records of this species from Singapore and Peninsular Malaysia are probably attributable to Kalophrynus limbooliati. See brief account by Grismer, 2012, Field Guide Amph. Rept. Seribuat Arch.: 52-53, for the Seribuat Archipelago, West Malaysia.
