See photograph in Orlov, Ho, and Nguyen, 2004, Russ. J. Herpetol., 11: 61. Nguyen, Ho, and Nguyen, 2005, Checklist Amph. Rept. Vietnam: 34, provided specific localities for Vietnam. Bain, Nguyen, and Doan, 2007, Herpetol. Rev., 38: 111, provided a record for Thua Thien-Hue province and briefly discussed the distribution. Hendrix, Nguyen, Böhme, and Ziegler, 2008, Herpetol.

See additional information regarding lectotype by Nguyen, Matsui, and Eto, 2014, Russ. J. Herpetol., 21: 298, and who noted that previous records for this species require verification now that Kurixalus motokawai has been named from the Central Highlands. These authors also referred this species, Kurixalus viridescens, and Kurixalus motokawai to the Kurixalus banaensis species group. Brakels, Maury, and Nguyen, 2021, Herpetol.
