Comment
See comment under Limnonectes kuhlii with statements dealing with the turbulent nature of the systematics within this complex. Removed from the synonym of Limnonectes kuhlii by Matsui, Dubois, and Ohler, 2013, Asian Herpetol. Res., Ser. 2, 4: 187, where it had been placed by Boulenger, 1891, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., Ser. 6, 7: 342, 344; Van Kampen, 1923, Amph. Indo-Austral. Arch.: 178. Equivalent to Limnonectes sp. Lineaage 9 of Matsui, Kuraishi, Eto, Hamidy, Nishikawa, Shimada, Yambun Imbun, Vairappan, and Hossman, 2016, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 102: 308, according to Matsui, Nishikawa, Shimada, Eto, Hamidy, Sudin, Hossman, Gumal, and Vairappan, 2024, Curr. Herpetol., Kyoto, 43: 248, who provided an account detailing comparative morphology, molecular markers, natural history, and distribution.
