Comment
Prior to the revision of 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, placed in the Section Hylarana, subsection Hydrophylax, subgenus Papurana of Dubois, 1992, Bull. Mens. Soc. Linn. Lyon, 61: 326. Considered a junior synonym of Rana papua by Van Kampen, 1923, Amph. Indo-Austral. Arch.: 201, Van Kampen and Brongersma, 1931, Treubia, 13: 15–18, and as a subspecies of Rana papua (in the Rana papua group) by Mertens, 1927, Senckenb. Biol., 9: 242, but considered a distinct species by Dunn, 1928, Am. Mus. Novit., 315: 6. See account by Boulenger, 1920, Rec. Indian Mus., 20: 160. Reilly, Arifin, Stubbs, Karin, Kaiser, Frederick, Arida, Iskandar, and McGuire, 2022, Zootaxa, 5150: 591–599, suggested on genetic grounds that the populations on Lombok and Flores may be distinct from each other.
