Comment
Staurois parvus was removed; without discussion, from the synonymy of Staurois tuberilinguis by Dubois, 1992, Bull. Mens. Soc. Linn. Lyon, 61: 334. See brief account and photo by Manthey and Grossmann, 1997, Amph. Rept. Südostasiens: 118. Malkmus, Manthey, Vogel, Hoffmann, and Kosuch, 2002, Amph. Rept. Mount Kinabalu: 172-174, provided an account (in the sense of including Staurois parvus). See statement of geographic range, habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 634. Das, 2007, Amph. Rept. Brunei: 68, provided a photograph and brief account. Arifin, Iskandar, Bickford, Brown, Meier, and Kutty, 2011, Zootaxa, 2744: 39-52, provided molecular evidence suggestive of the existence of two cryptic species. Haas, Kueh, Joseph, bin Asri, Das, Hagmann, Schwander, and Hertwig, 2018, Evol. Syst., 2: 89–114, provided a brief account of morphology and natural history for the Sabah population. Grosjean and Preininger, 2020, Zootaxa, 4896: 523–534, described larval morphology in comparison with Staurois parvus. Haas, Das, Hertwig, Bublies, and Schulz-Schaeffer, 2022, Guide to the Tadpoles of Borneo: 225–226, summarized the knowledge of habitat, reproduction, larval morphology and coloration.
