Comment
Prior to the revision of Frost, Grant, Faivovich, Bain, Haas, Haddad, de Sá, Channing, Wilkinson, Donnellan, Raxworthy, Campbell, Blotto, Moler, Drewes, Nussbaum, Lynch, Green, and Wheeler, 2006, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 297, placed in the Section Hylarana, subsection Hydrophylax, subgenus Sylvirana of Dubois, 1992, Bull. Mens. Soc. Linn. Lyon, 61: 326. See account by Bourret, 1942, Batr. Indochine: 312-314. Allied to Rana adenopleura according to the original publication. See comments by Inger, Orlov, and Darevsky, 1999, Fieldiana, Zool., N.S.,, 92: 20-21. Chan-ard, 2003, Photograph. Guide Amph. Thailand: 130-131, provided a very brief account, map for Thailand, and photograph. Nguyen, Ho, and Nguyen, 2005, Checklist Amph. Rept. Vietnam: 30, provided specific localities for Vietnam. Chuaynkern, Ohler, Inthara, Kumtong, and Dubois, 2004, Nat. Hist. J. Chulalongkorn Univ., 4: 1-13, discussed the range. Stuart and Emmett, 2006, Fieldiana, Zool., N.S.,, 109: 9, provided a record for the Cardamom Mountains, southwestern Cambodia. See discussion by Ohler, 2007, Alytes, 25: 55-74. Fei, Ye, Jiang, and Xie, 2008, Acta Zootaxon. Sinica, 33: 199-206, provided a key to the close relatives of this species. They distinguished Hylarana bannanica from Hylarana milleti, unlike Ohler, 2007, Alytes, 25: 70, who placed them in synonymy, which appeared after the paper by Fei et al. had gone to press. Yang, 2008, in Yang and Rao (ed.), Amph. Rept. Yunnan: 22-24, provided a brief account (as Rana bannanica) for Yunnan, China. Fei, Hu, Ye, and Huang, 2009, Fauna Sinica, Amph. 3: 1148-1151, provided an account (as Rana bannanica), figures, and map for China and placed it in their Hylarana (Sylvirana) hekouensis group. Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2010, Colored Atlas of Chinese Amph.: 302-303, provided a brief account (as Hylarana bannanica).
