Comment
Anders, 2002, in Schleich and Kästle (eds.), Amph. Rept. Nepal: 307-310, provided as Sphaerotheca maskeyi an account, figure, and map for the Nepal population (as Sph.xxx).

Threatened Taxa, 9: 10278 (who provided a detailed account), and where it had been placed without discussion by Dubois, 1999, J. South Asian Nat. Hist., 4: xxx, and by Dubois, 2004, Alytes, 21: 178.
