Comment

The sister taxon of Limnonectes dabanus + Limnonectes gyldenstolpei according to the original publication, where the external morphology, advertisement call, and comparative molecular markers were provided. Niyomwan, Srisom, and Pawangkhanant, 2019, Field Guide Amph. Thailand: 266–267, provided a brief account (photographs, habitat, and range) for Thailand (in Thai). Poyarkov, Nguyen, Popov, Geissler, Pawangkhanant, Neang, Suwannapoom, and Orlov, 2021, Russ. J. Herpetol., 28 (3A): 24, suggested that this species is likely to be found in adjacent Cambodia and Laos.
