Comment
Confused with Rana tagoi, with which it is nearly identifical in morphology, prior to its naming according to the original publication. Eto, Matsui, and Kokuryo, 2016, Curr. Herpetol., Kyoto, 35: 128–131, reported on apparent autotriploidy. Shimada, Sanda, and Eto, 2021, Curr. Herpetol., Kyoto, 40: 54–65, reported on the advertisement call at the type locality.
