Comment

See accounts as Rana pilieata by Boulenger, 1920, Rec. Indian Mus., 20: 52; Taylor, 1962, Univ. Kansas Sci. Bull., 43: 398–401, and Bourret, 1942, Batr. Indochine: 269–270. Bourret, 1942, Batr. Indochine: 404–406, and Taylor, 1962, Univ. Kansas Sci. Bull., 43: 360–362, provided accounts of Elachyglossa gyldenstolpei. Heyer, 1971, Fieldiana, Zool., 58: 61–82, reported on the call (as Rana pileata) from Thailand. Ohler and Dubois, 1999, Zool. Scripta, 23: 269–271,provided a detailed acounts of morphology, morphometrics, and synonymy. Reported for southwestern Cambodia by Ohler, Swan, and Daltry, 2002, Raffles Bull. Zool., 50: 465–481. Nutphund, 2001, Amph. Thailand: 100, provided a brief characterization (as Elachyglossa gyldenstolpei) but, according to Ohler, 2003, Alytes, 21: 101, the frog so pictured is actually Limnonectes laticeps. Chan-ard, 2003, Photograph. Guide Amph. Thailand: 120–121, provided a very brief account (as Limnonectes pileatus), map for Thailand, and photograph. Stuart, 2005, Herpetol. Rev., 36: 477, provided specific localities in Laos. Neang and Holden, 2008, Field Guide Amph. Cambodia: 90–91, provided a photograph, brief account of identification, ecology, and range in Cambodia. Chan-ard, Cota, and Makchai, 2011, Amph. E. Region Thailand: 64–65, provided a photograph and brief account for eastern Thailand, and (p.134) detailed the range in Thailand. Luu, Nguyen, Pham, Dang, Vu, Miskovic, Bonkowski, and Ziegler, 2013, Biodiversity J., 4: 285–300, reported the species in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, Quang Binh Province, Vietnam. Teynié, Nguyen, Lorvelec, Piquet, Lottier, and David, 2014, Bull. Soc. Herpetol. France, 151: 25, provided a record from Bolikhamxai Province, Laos, and discussed the range. Lambertz, Hartmann, Walsh, Geissler, and McLeod, 2014, Zool. J. Linn. Soc., 172: 117–132, compared the head ornamentation of Limnonectes dabanus, Limnonectes gyldenstolpei, Limnonectes macrognathus, and Limnonectes plicatellus and suggested that the name Elachoglossa be restricted to this clade. See comments by Geissler, Hartmann, Ihlow, Neang, Seng, Wagner, and Böhme, 2019, Cambodian J. Nat. Hist., 2019: 40–63, on specimens collected in Phnom Kulen National Park, northern Cambodia. Niyomwan, Srisom, and Pawangkhanant, 2019, Field Guide Amph. Thailand: 256–257, provided a brief account (photographs, habitat, and range) for Thailand (in Thai). Makchai, Chuaynkern, Safoowong, Chuachat, and Cota, 2020, Amph. N. Thailand: 6061, provided photographs, a brief account for Thailand, and a range map.
