Comment

See accounts by Van Kampen, 1923, Amph. Indo-Austral. Arch.: 234; Bourret, 1942, Batr. Indochine: 393-394; and Berry, 1975, Amph. Fauna Peninsular Malaysia: 58-59. See brief account and photo by Manthey and Grossmann, 1997, Amph. Rept. Südostasiens: 87. Nutphund, 2001, Amph. Thailand: 98, provided a brief characterization (as Staurois larutensis) and a photograph. Chan-ard, 2003, Photograph. Guide Amph. Thailand: 106-107, provided a very brief account, map for Thailand, and photograph. Matsui and Nabhitabhata, 2006, Zool. Sci., Tokyo, 23: 731, suggested that the Thailand record of Amolops larutensis, published by Taylor, 1962, Univ. Kansas Sci. Bull., 43: 477-480, probably is a misidentified Amolops panhai.
