Comment

The sister taxon of Gracixalus supercornutus according to the original publication. Nguyen, Le, Pham, Nguyen, Bonkowski, and Ziegler, 2013, Organisms Divers. Evol., 13: 203–214, provided molecular evidence that nominal Gracixalus quangi is composed of more than one species. Rowley, Dau, Hoang, Nguyen, Le, and Altig, 2015, Amphibia-Reptilia, 36: 277–285, provided information on larval morphology and discussed the advertisement call compared with near relatives. Pham, Rauhaus, Tran, Niggemann, Dang, Le, Nguyen, and Ziegler, 2019, Amph. Rept. Conserv., 13: 90–103, amplified the range, including adding localities in Binh Hoa Province, Vietnam, and described the larvae. Nguyen, Brakels, Maury, Sudavanh, Pawangkhanant, Idiiatullina, Lorphengsy, Inkhavilay, Suwannapoom, and Poyarkov, 2020, Amph. Rept. Conserv., 14 (2: e248): 218–249, discussed the natural history and range and provided a records for Laos. Liu, Rao, and Li, 2020, Russ. J. Herpetol., 27: 275–283, reported the species from Mengla in southern Yunnan, China. Lorphengsy, Nguyen, Poyarkov, Wu, Pawangkhanant, Passorn, Che, and Suwannapoom, 2021, Biodiversity Data J., 9 (e67667): 1–15, employing molecular assay, redelimited the ranges of Gracixalus quangi and Gracixalus yunnanensis. Pham, Nguyen, Tran, Le, Nguyen, Nguyen, Pham, Dang, and Doan, 2023, VNU J. Sci. Earth Environ. Sci., 39: 53–61, provided a record for Son La Province, Vietnam. Stuart, Seateun, Sivongxay, and Phimmachak, 2025 "2024", in Wildlife Lao PDR: 42, summarized literature, taxonomy, habitat, and detailed range for Laos.
