Comment
Subgenus Microhyla, Microhyla berdmorei group. Removed from the syonymy of Microhyla berdmorei by Dubois, 1987, Alytes, 6: 3, where it had been placed by Bourret, 1942, Batr. Indochine: 509. Records in China may be confused with Microhyla berdmorei, with which it has been confused. See comment under Microhyla berdmorei. Fei, 1999, Atlas Amph. China: 292-293, provided a brief account, figure, and map. Yang, 2008, in Yang and Rao (ed.), Amph. Rept. Yunnan: 124, provided a brief account for Yunnan, China. Fei, Hu, Ye, and Huang, 2009, Fauna Sinica, Amph. 2: 890-894, provided an account, spot map for China, and assigned this species to their Microhyla butleri group. Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2010, Colored Atlas of Chinese Amph.: 481, provided a brief account for China.
