Comment
In the original publication shown by mtDNA analysis to be imbedded within Fejervarya sensu lato, this clade subsequently partitioned by Sanchez, Biju, Islam, Hasan, Ohler, Vences, and Kurabayashi, 2018, Salamandra, 54: 109–116, who provided a tree that would place this species within Minervarya as implied by the tree provided by Suwannapoom, Yuan, Jiang, Yan, Gao, and Che, 2017, Zool. Res., Kunming, 38: 246. Köhler, Mogk, Khaing, and Than, 2019, Vert. Zool., Senckenberg, 69: 183–226, provided an account of the Myanmar populations, reported on the phylogenetic placement of the species and described its advertisement call. Niyomwan, Srisom, and Pawangkhanant, 2019, Field Guide Amph. Thailand: 288–289, provided a brief account (description, photographs, habitat, and range) for Thailand (in Thai). See comment under Minervarya andamanensis. Garg and Biju, 2021, Asian Herpetol.
