Comment
Retained in Rana because the authors reject the nomenclatural novelties of Dubois as based on a number of weaknesses summarized in Inger, 1996, Herpetologica, 52: 241-246. See statement of geographic range, habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 629. Pui, Das, and Haas, 2013, Check List, 9: 1588–89, provided records for Sarawak, East Malaysia. Earlier records from Sarawak are referable to Occidozyga berbeza. Flury, Haas, Brown, Das, Pui, Kueh, Scheidt, Iskandar, Jankowski, and Hertwig, 2021, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 163 (107210): 1–17, detected in their dataset three mtDNA lineages from Sarawak. The specimens identified by Flury et al. (2021) as Occidozyga rhacoda are from within the range (Sarawak, Malaysia) and represent misidentified Occidozyga berbeza according to Matsui, Nishikawa, Eto, Hamidy, Hossman, and Fukuyama, 2021, Zootaxa, 4926: 544.
