Comment
Most similar to Megophrys major and Megophrys auralensis according to the original publication, where adult and larval morphology and molecular markers were detailed. Chan-ard, Cota, and Makchai, 2011, Amph. E. Region Thailand: 26–27, provided a photograph and brief account for eastern Thailand, and (p. 126), detailed the range in Thailand. Chan-ard, Seangthianchai, and Makchai, 2011, Thailand Nat. Hist. Mus. J., 5: 43, provided a record for Khao Soi Dao Wildlife Sanctuary, Chanthaburi Province, Thailand. Neang, Chhin, Meang, and Hun, 2014 "2013", Cambodian J. Nat. Hist., 2013: 66–72, reported the species from Phnom Samkos Wildlife Sanctuary, Cambodia, and noted that previous records of Megophrys auralensis from this locality were misidentified. Niyomwan, Srisom, and Pawangkhanant, 2019, Field Guide Amph. Thailand: 150–151, provided a brief account (photographs, habitat, and range) for Thailand (in Thai). In the Xenophrys lekaguli group of Lyu, Zeng, Wang, Liu, Huang, Li, and Wang, 2021, Zootaxa, 4927: 9–40. Poyarkov, Nguyen, Popov, Geissler, Pawangkhanant, Neang, Suwannapoom, and Orlov, 2021, Russ. J. Herpetol., 28 (3A): 36, suggested that Cambodian population should be confirmed using genetic data.
