Comment
Mou and Zhao, 1992, in Jiang (ed.), Collect. Pap. Herpetol.: 15-26, suggested on the basis of identical call parameters, that Pelophylax hubeiensis is a junior synonym of Pelophylax plancyi. This was followed by Zhao and Adler, 1993, Herpetol. China: 147. But, Pelophylax hubeiensis was retained (as Pelophylax hubeiensis) by Ye, Fei, and Hu, 1993, Rare and Economic Amph. China: 221; and Fei, 1999, Atlas Amph. China: 160-161. See comment under Pelophylax plancyi. Fei and Ye, 2001, Color Handbook Amph. Sichuan: 174, provided a brief account and illustration (as Pelophylax hubeiensis). In the Pelophylax plancyi group of Fei, Ye, Huang, Jiang, and Xie, 2005, in Fei et al. (eds.), Illust. Key Chinese Amph.: 110. Fei, Hu, Ye, and Huang, 2009, Fauna Sinica, Amph. 3: 1043-1049, provided an account, figures, and map for China and included it in their Pelophylax plancyi group. Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2010, Colored Atlas of Chinese Amph.: 284-285, provided a brief account including photographs of specimens and habitat. Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2012, Colored Atlas Chinese Amph.
