Comment
Nutphund, 2001, Amph. Thailand: 163, provided a brief account of Kaloula aureata. Pauwels and Chérot, 2006, Hamadryad, 30: 172-175, discussed the status of Kaloula aureata, suggesting that on the basis of differences in color pattern and head shape that it is not a synonym of Kaloula pulchra macrocephala as suggested provisionally by Ohler, 2003, Alytes, 21: 100.
