Comment

Confused with Microhyla borneensis prior to its description, according to the original publication. See Berry, 1975, Amph. Fauna Peninsular Malaysia: 119–120 (as Microhyla borneensis), and Dring, 1979, Bull. Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.), Zool., 34: 194 (as Microhyla borneensis). See brief account and photo by Manthey and Grossmann, 1997, Amph. Rept. Südostasiens: 61 (as Microhyla borneensis). Chan-ard, 2003, Photograph. Guide Amph. Thailand: 102–103 (as Microhyla borneensis), provided a very brief account, map for Thailand, and photograph. See brief account by Grismer, 2012, Field Guide Amph. Rept. Seribuat Arch.: 57–58, for the Seribuat Archipelago, West Malaysia. Manthey and Denzer, 2014, Sauria, Berlin, 36: 3–21, provided some morphology and color notes. Firdaus, Ratih, Karima, Kusuma, and Suastika, 2018, Bioinform. Biomed. Res. J., 1: 1–6, reported on the mtDNA phylogenetic relationships of the species of Microhyla within Sumatra, Java, Borneo, and peninsular Malaysia, placing this species as the sister of Microhyla malang + Microhyla borneensis. In the Microhyla achatina species group of Garg, Suyesh, Das, Jiang, Wijayathilaka, Amarasinghe, Alhadi, Vineeth, Aravind, Senevirathne, Meegaskumbura, and Biju, 2018 "2019", Vert. Zool., Senckenberg, 69: 1–71. Niyomwan, Srisom, and Pawangkhanant, 2019, Field Guide Amph. Thailand: 228–229, provided a brief account (photographs, habitat, and range) for Thailand (in Thai). Zug and Mulcahy, 2020 "2019", Amph. Rept. S. Tanintharyi: 47–48, provided a brief account for South Tanintharyi, peninsular Myanmar. Gorin, Solovyeva, Hasan, Okamiya, Karunarathna, Pawangkhanant, de Silva, Juthong, Milto, Nguyen, Suwannapoom, Haas, Bickford, Das, and Poyarkov, 2020, PeerJ, 8 (e9411): 1–47, placed this species in their Microhyla achatina group and noted that the nominal species contained at least two cryptic species. Zug, 2022, Smithson. Contrib. Zool., 653: 32, briefly discussed identification, habitat, and range in Myanmar. Figueroa, Low, and Lim, 2023, Zootaxa, 5287: 1–378, provided records, literature, and conservation status for Singapore. Atmaja, Eprilurahman, Munir, Smith, Arisuryanti, Ubaidillah, and Hamidy, 2024, Taprobanica, 13: 91, reported a genetically-confirmed record from the Hutan Harapan National Forest (Jambi), south-central Sumatra, Indonesia. Sabri, Ahmad, Badli-Sham, Syafiq-Rahman, Juahir, Omar, and Nasir, 2026, Malay. J. Fund. Appl. Sci., 22: 749–762, discussed the distribution of the species in peat swamps in West Malaysia.
