Comment
See account by Boulenger, 1920, Rec. Indian Mus., 20: 203. See statement of geographic range, habitat, and conservation status (as Rana macrops) in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 633. Wanger, Motzke, Saleh, and Iskandar, 2011, Salamandra, 47: 17-29, reported the species from central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Dubois, Ohler, and Pyron, 2021, Megataxa, 5: 423, recovered this species as phylogenetically isolated (and the sister taxon of Indosylvirana nicobariensis) from the otherwise monophyletic Chalcorana.
