Leptobrachium mouhoti Stuart, Sok, and Neang, 2006
Leptobrachium mouhoti Stuart, Sok, and Neang, 2006, Raffles Bull. Zool., 54: 131. Holotype: FMNH 262756, by original designation. Type locality: "in shallow water among tree roots at bank of O Doeung Por Stream in hilly evergreen forest, near 12° 18′ 08.4″ N, 107° 03′ 08.1″ E, 500 m elev., Seima Biodiversity Conservation Area, O'Rang District, Mondolkiri Province, Cambodia".
Leptobrachium (Leptobrachium) mouhoti — Delorme, Dubois, Grosjean, and Ohler, 2006, Alytes, 24: 12.
Leptobrachium (Vibrissaphora) mouhoti — Matsui, Hamidy, Murphy, Khonsue, Yambun Imbun, Shimada, Ahmad, Belabut, and Jiang, 2010, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 56: 269.
Common Names
Mouhot's Litter Frog (Neang and Holden, 2008, Field Guide Amph. Cambodia: 44).
Mouhot’s Spadefoot Toad (Poyarkov, Nguyen, Popov, Geissler, Pawangkhanant, Neang, Suwannapoom, and Orlov, 2021, Russ. J. Herpetol., 28 (3A): 33).
Distribution
Northeastern Cambodia in Mondulkiri and Ratanakiri provinces, and from there 300 km north to the Ngoc Linh Mountain, Quang Nam and Quang Ngai Provinces, Vietnam (therefore presumably found through the entire Truong Son/Annamite range).
Geographic Occurrence
Natural Resident: Cambodia, Vietnam
Comment
Bain and Nguyen, 2006, Herpetol. Rev., 37: 358, provide the record for Vietnam. Neang and Holden, 2008, Field Guide Amph. Cambodia: 44, provided a brief account of identification, ecology, and range in Cambodia. Tran, Le, Le, Vu, Nguyen, Böhme, and Ziegler, 2010, Herpetol. Notes, 3: 111–119, provided a record from Quang Ngai Province, central Vietnam, and provided a brief morphological diagnosis. Stuart, Rowley, Tran, Le, and Hoang, 2011, Zootaxa, 2804: 36, suggested that the likelihood of Leptobrachium mouhoti and Leptobrachium pullum being conspecific should be investigated due to the short mtDNA distance between them. Poyarkov, Nguyen, Popov, Geissler, Pawangkhanant, Neang, Suwannapoom, and Orlov, 2021, Russ. J. Herpetol., 28 (3A): 33, repeated the concern, but failed to note that Stuart, Som, Neang, Hoang, Le, Dau, Potter, and Rowley, 2020, J. Nat. Hist., London, 54: 225–255, who reported on nuDNA, advertisement calls, and morphology and found that these datasets did not mirror the mtDNA, instead providing ample evidence for species status for Leptobrachium mouhoti.
