Comment

In the Limnonectes (Limnonectes) microdiscus group of Dubois, 1987 "1986", Alytes, 5: 63. Possibly a subspecies of Limnonectes microdiscus (as Rana microdisca) according to Inger, 1954, Fieldiana, Zool., 33: 292, who provided an account on page 274-275. McLeod, 2010, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 56: 991-1000, suggested that nominal Limnonectes woodworthi is composed of a complex of species.
