Comment

In the Rhacophorus (Rhacophorus) pardalis group of Dubois, 1987 "1986", Alytes, 5: 77 (see comment under Rhacophorus for dissenting opinion regarding the recognition of this group). Discussed by Taylor, 1962, Univ. Kansas Sci. Bull., 43: 485-487, and (as Rhacophorus pardalis robinsoni) by Bourret, 1942, Batr. Indochine: 442-443. See also Berry, 1975, Amph. Fauna Peninsular Malaysia: 109, for account. Inger, 1954, Fieldiana, Zool., 33: 372, noted that the placement of Rhacophorus robinsoni as a subspecies of Rhacophorus pardalis by Wolf, 1936, Bull. Raffles Mus., 12: 208, was done without examination of specimens and should therefore not be followed without additional examination. Nutphund, 2001, Amph. Thailand: 141, provided a brief characterization and photograph. Chan and Norhayati, 2009, Herpetol. Rev., 40: 294-301, provided an account for peninsular Malaysia and discussed the range.
