Comment

In the Section Hylarana, subsection Hydrophylax, subgenus Pulchrana of Dubois, 1992, Bull. Mens. Soc. Linn. Lyon, 61: 326. (The sections and subsections rejected by Frost, Grant, Faivovich, Bain, Haas, Haddad, de Sá, Channing, Wilkinson, Donnellan, Raxworthy, Campbell, Blotto, Moler, Drewes, Nussbaum, Lynch, Green, and Wheeler, 2006, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 297: 1–370.) See accounts by Boulenger, 1920, Rec. Indian Mus., 20: 182; Inger, 1966, Fieldiana, Zool., 52: 160–162. See also Berry, 1975, Amph. Fauna Peninsular Malaysia: 61–62. Stuebing in Inger and Tan, 1996, Raffles Bull. Zool., 44: 561, suggested that this nominal species is a composite. See account for Java by Iskandar, 1998, Amph. Java Bali: 65–66, and Lim and Lim, 1992, Guide Amph. Rept. Singapore: 26. See brief account and photo by Manthey and Grossmann, 1997, Amph. Rept. Südostasiens: 104–105. See Rana laterimaculata. Chan-ard, 2003, Photograph. Guide Amph. Thailand: 126–127, provided a very brief account, map for Thailand, and photograph, the specimens from Yala, Thailand; these specimens subsequently reidentified as Pulchrana laterimaculata by Chuaynkern, Inthara, Duengkae, and Thong-aree, 2008, J. Wildlife Thailand, 15: 29–36 (who excluded Pulchrana baramica from the Thailand fauna). Das, Jankowski, Makmor, and Haas, 2007, Mitt. Hamburg. Zool. Mus. Inst., 104: 158, provided a brief description. Das, 2007, Amph. Rept. Brunei: 59, provided a photograph and brief account, as Rana baramica. Herlambang, Riyanto, Munir, Hamidy, Kimura, Eto, and Mumpuni, 2022, Treubia, 49: 78, reported the species from Bunguran and Pulau Tiga Is., Natuna Is., Indonesia.
