Comment

Subgenus Microhyla, Microhyla berdmorei group. For accounts see Berry, 1975, Amph. Fauna Peninsular Malaysia: 124-125, Bourret, 1942, Batr. Indochine: 516-518, and Iskandar, 1998, Amph. Java Bali: 57-58 (who noted that it had been confused in the literature with Microhyla annectens). See identification table by Manthey and Grossmann, 1997, Amph. Rept. Südostasiens: 46, to compare this species with other microhylids in the Sunda Shelf region. Bain and Nguyen, 2004, Copeia, 2004: 520, discussed the records for Vietnam and considered them to be unjustified. McKay, 2006, Field Guide Amph. Rept. Bali: 34-35, provided a brief account and photograph.
