Comment
See identification table by Manthey and Grossmann, 1997, Amph. Rept. Südostasiens: 46, to compare the species of the Sunda Shelf region. Excluded from Dyscophinae and placed in Calluellinae by by Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2005, in Fei et al. (eds.), Illust. Key Chinese Amph.: 278. Frost, Grant, Faivovich, Bain, Haas, Haddad, de Sá, Channing, Wilkinson, Donnellan, Raxworthy, Campbell, Blotto, Moler, Drewes, Nussbaum, Lynch, Green, and Wheeler, 2006, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 297: 230, placed Calluella in Microhylinae on the basis of phylogenetic position. Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 543-583, in their study of Genbank sequences, suggested Calluella to be the sister taxon of Glyphoglossus.
