Comment

See Taylor, 1962, Univ. Kansas Sci. Bull., 43: 566-569. See discussion by Inger, 1954, Fieldiana, Zool., 33: 437-445, for subspecies. The four subspecies are all likely distinct species (R.I. Crombie, personal communication). Ferner, Brown, Sison, and Kennedy, 2001, Asiat. Herpetol. Res., 9: 39, suggested that Kaloula negrosensis would be recognized with additional data. Gaulke, 2011, Herpetofauna Panay Island: 92-94, provided a brief account (as Kaloula conjuncta negrosensis) for Panay Island, Philippines.
