Comment
See Taylor, 1962, Univ. Kansas Sci. Bull., 43: 443-446, and Bourret, 1942, Batr. Indochine: 302-304, for discussion. Orlov, Murphy, Ananjeva, Ryabov, and Ho, 2002, Russ. J. Herpetol., 9: 89, commented on the range. Nutphund, 2001, Amph. Thailand: 120, provided a brief characterization and photograph, which Ohler, 2003, Alytes, 21: 102, allocated to Limnonectes sp. Stuart, 1999, in Duckworth et al. (eds.), Wildlife in Lao PDR: 48, commented briefly on the Laos range. Chan-ard, 2003, Photograph. Guide Amph. Thailand: 142-143, provided a very brief account, map for Thailand, and photograph. Nguyen, Ho, and Nguyen, 2005, Checklist Amph. Rept. Vietnam: 28, provided specific localities for Vietnam. Stuart, 2005, Herpetol. Rev., 36: 478, provided specific localities for Laos. Liu and Hu, 1961, Tailless Amph. China: 175-177, Yang, 1991, Amph. Fauna of Yunnan: 139-140, and Fei, 1999, Atlas Amph. China: 164-166, provided brief accounts as Pelophylax nigrolineatus. In the Pelophylax pleuraden group of Fei, Ye, Huang, Jiang, and Xie, 2005, Illust. Key Chinese Amph.: 111. See discussion by Ohler, 2007, Alytes, 25: 55-74. Yang, 2008, in Yang and Rao (ed.), Amph. Rept. Yunnan: 69-70, provided a brief account (as Rana nigrolineata). Stuart, 2008, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 46: 49-60, suggested on the basis of molecular evidence that this species is imbedded within Hylarana, and far from Pelophylax, but did not make the taxonomic change. Fei, Hu, Ye, and Huang, 2009, Fauna Sinica, Amph. 3: 1075-1080, provided an account (as Pelophylax nigrolineatus), figures, and map for China and included it in their Pelophylax nigromaculatus group. Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2010, Colored Atlas of Chinese Amph.: 283 (as Pelophylax nigrolineatus), provided a brief account including photographs. Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 543-583, in their study of Genbank sequences confirmed the placement of this species in Hylarana although they obscured this result by employing an antiquated taxonomy. The morphological literature suggests that additional study is warranted.
