Confused with Limnonectes kuhlii in earlier literature but actually evolutionary substantially distant from that species, according to the original publication. See comments on morphology and natural history in West Malaysia by Chan, Muin, Anuar, Andam, Razak, and Aziz, 2019, Check List, 15: 1055–1069.
