Comment

Removed from the synonymy of Rana livida by Bain, Lathrop, Murphy, Orlov, and Ho, 2003, Am. Mus. Novit., 3417: 24 (who also presented an account on page 24-27), where it had been placed by Bourret, 1942, Batr. Indochine: 371. Fei, Hu, Ye, and Huang, 2009, Fauna Sinica, Amph. 3: 1219-1224, provided an account, figures, and map for China and placed it in their monotypic Odorrana (Odorrana) graminea group. Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2010, Colored Atlas of Chinese Amph.: 328-329, provided a brief account including photographs of specimens and habitat. Shi, 2011, Amph. Rept. Fauna Hainan: 95-97, provided an account for Hainan of what is likely this species as Rana livida.
