Comment
Menzies, 1987, Aust. J. Zool., 35: 388-389, and Menzies, 1992, Sci. New Guinea, 18: 119, reported this species from Papua New Guinea, in error, according to J. Menzies, in litt. to Allen Allison 9 Feb 2006. See account by Boulenger, 1920, Rec. Indian Mus., 20: 16, who resurrected this species from the synonymy of Hoplobatrachus tigerinus. Dubois, 1987 "1986", Alytes, 5: 60, considered this species to be a member of his Limnonectes (Hoplobatrachus) tigerinus group, but subsequently (Dubois, 1992, Bull. Mens. Soc. Linn. Lyon, 61: 315) moved it into Fejervarya. Kennedi, Kusrini, Mardiastuti, and Ariefiandy, 2021, Media Konservasi , 26: 217–230, reported the species on Flores I., Indonesia, but Tanoyo, Reilly, Doughty, Arida, and Iskandar, 2024, Rec. W. Aust. Mus., 39: 15–62, who reported on the molecular phylogenetics and comparative morphology from the populations found in the Lesser Sundas, Indonesia, regarded this in error for Fejervarya iskandari, and regarded that species as restricted to the Banda Arc Islands.
