Comment

Discussed (as Rhacophorus leprosus leprosus) by Bourret, 1942, Batr. Indochine: 411-412. See also Berry, 1975, Amph. Fauna Peninsular Malaysia: 100-101, for account. See identification table by Manthey and Grossmann, 1997, Amph. Rept. Südostasiens: 122-123, to compare this species to other rhacophorids of the Sunda Shelf region. See Orlov, Dutta, Ghate, and Kent, 2006, Russ. J. Herpetol., 13: 155-175, for brief comments (as Theloderma leporosa). Chan and Norhayati, 2009, Herpetol. Rev., 40: 294-301, provided an account for peninsular Malaysia and discussed the range.
