Hylarana miopus (Boulenger, 1918)

Class: Amphibia > Order: Anura > Family: Ranidae > Genus: Hylarana > Species: Hylarana miopus

Rana miopus Boulenger, 1918, J. Nat. Hist. Soc. Siam, 3: 11-12. Holotype: BMNH, by original designation; although the original description is unambiguous about there being a single specimen, the BMNH has two specimens, 1947.2.3.29–30 (formerly 1916.3.27.44–45), registered as syntypes. This requires resolution (DRF). Type locality: "Siam (Khao Wang Hip and Nakhon Sitamarat [= Nakhon Si Thammarat]", Thailand.

Comment

See Boulenger, 1920, Rec. Indian Mus., 20: 149; Taylor, 1962, Univ. Kansas Sci. Bull., 43: 427–43, and Bourret, 1942, Batr. Indochine: 326–327, for accounts. See also Berry, 1975, Amph. Fauna Peninsular Malaysia: 79–80. Inger, Orlov, and Darevsky, 1999, Fieldiana, Zool., N.S., 92: 43, doubted the Vietnam records of Tran, Nguyen, and Ho, 1981, Res. Basic Invest. Fauna N. Vietnam. Orlov, Murphy, Ananjeva, Ryabov, and Ho, 2002, Russ. J. Herpetol., 9: 90, suggested that records for this species in Vietnam are in error. Nutphund, 2001, Amph. Thailand: 115, provided a brief characterization and photograph, which Ohler, 2003, Alytes, 21: 100–102, was of Sylvirana cubitalis (as Rana). Chan-ard, 2003, Photograph. Guide Amph. Thailand: 126–127, provided a very brief account, map for Thailand, and photograph. Grismer, Chan, Grismer, Wood, and Ahmad, 2010, Russ. J. Herpetol., 17: 147–160, reported localities from the Banjaran Bintang Mountains, northwestern peninsular Malaysia. Chan-ard, Cota, and Makchai, 2011, Amph. E. Region Thailand: 144, detailed the range in Thailand. Niyomwan, Srisom, and Pawangkhanant, 2019, Field Guide Amph. Thailand: 334–335, provided a brief account (description, photographs, habitat, and range) for Thailand (in Thai).
