Comment
Similar to Megophrys aceras and Megophrys baluensis according to the original publication. See identification table by Manthey and Grossmann, 1997, Amph. Rept. Südostasiens: 68–69, to compare this species with other megophryids in the Sunda Shelf region. See statement of geographic range, habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 625. Oberhummer, Barten, Schweizer, Das, Haas, and Hertwig, 2014, Zootaxa, 3835: 59–79, reported on larval morphology. Mahony, Foley, Biju, and Teeling, 2017, Mol. Biol. Evol., 34: 756, could not assign this species to subgenus.
