Comment
In the Fejervarya limnocharis group, most similar to populations of Fejervarya limnocharis from the Malay Peninsula, according to the original publication. Das and Dutta, 2007, Hamadryad, 31: 154–181, noted a small number of larval descriptions of varying levels of completeness in the literature. Kotaki, Kurabayashi, Matsui, Kuramoto, Tjong, and Sumida, 2010, Zool. Sci., Tokyo, 27: 386-395, noted a closely related, if not conspecific population in southwestern Thailand, suggesting that this taxon likely occurs as a single species or as a complex from Orissa, India, through parts of Myanmar to at least southwestern Thailand. Hasan, Islam, Khan, Alam, Kurabayashi, Igawa, Kuramoto, and Sumida, 2012, Zool. Sci., Tokyo, 29: 162-172, discussed the possibility of cryptic species (their Fejervarya sp. large type) recognized on the basis of molecular evidence. Köhler, Mogk, Khaing, and Than, 2019, Vert. Zool., Senckenberg, 69: 183–226, reported on the phylogenetic placement of the species , provided an account, and described its larval morphology and advertisement call. Deuti, Sethy, and Ray, 2014, Rec. Zool. Surv. India, 114: 129–130, provided a brief account for the population of the Andhra Pradesh and Odhisa, India. Das, Mohapatra, Jaggi, and Sailo, 2020, Herpetol. Rev., 51: 268–269, provided a record from Madhya Pradesh, India, and discussed the range. Prasad, Gautam, Gupta, Murthy, Ramesh, Shinde, and Das, 2020, Zootaxa, 4851: 450–476, reported on morphology and advertisement call for a population in the Panna Tiger Reserve, Madhya Pradesh, central India. See comments by Hakim, Trageser, Ghose, Das, Rashid, and Rahman, 2020, Check List, 16: 1239–1268, who reported the species from Lawachara National Park, Sylhet Division, northeastern Bangladesh.
