Comment
The records of this species in Vietnam were previously predominantly assigned to Gracixalus carinensis. See account (as Philautus carinensis) by Bourret, 1942, Batr. Indochine: 468-469. Orlov, Lathrop, Murphy, and Ho, 2001, Russ. J. Herpetol., 8: 19, listed Kurixalus carinensis as part of the Vietnam fauna. Orlov, Murphy, Ananjeva, Ryabov, and Ho, 2002, Russ. J. Herpetol., 9: 93, provided the Vietnam component of the range statement, as Kurxalus carinensis. See photograph in Orlov, Ho, and Nguyen, 2004, Russ. J. Herpetol., 11: 61, as Kurixalus carinensis. Nguyen, Ho, and Nguyen, 2005, Checklist Amph. Rept. Vietnam: 34, provided specific localities for Vietnam, as Kurixalus carinensis.
