Comment

Fei, 1999, Atlas Amph. China: 272-273, provided a brief account (as Rhacophorus naso), map, and figure. Chanda, 2002, Handb. Indian Amph.: 178, provided a brief account for India. Synonymy with Rhacophorus appendiculatus verrucosus by Wolf, 1936, Bull. Raffles Mus., 12: 162, and Dubois, 1987 "1986", Alytes, 5: 75. This synonymy accepted only provisionally by Inger, 1954, Fieldiana, Zool., 33: 374. This synonymy rejected, without comment, by Zhao and Adler, 1993, Herpetol. China: 158, Inger and Tan, 1996, Raffles Bull. Zool., 44: 567; Ye, Fei, and Hu, 1993, Rare and Economic Amph. China: 326. Fei, Hu, Ye, and Huang, 2009, Fauna Sinica, Amph. 2: 676-678, provided an account for China (as Aquixalus naso) and spot map. Mathew and Sen, 2008, Rec. Zool. Surv. India, 108: 41-42, provided a record for Lunglei District, Arunachal Pradesh, India, and provided a photograph (as Rhacophorus naso). Das and Dutta, 2007, Hamadryad, 31: 154–181, noted no larval descriptions in the literature. Mathew and Sen, 2009, Cobra, Chennai, 2: 14-16, provided a record (as Philautus namdaphaensis) for the East Garo Hills District of Arunachal Pradesh, India, and commented on the range. Mathew and Sen, 2010, Pict. Guide Amph. NE India: 93-94, provided a brief characterization and a photograph. Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2010, Colored Atlas of Chinese Amph.: 433, provided a brief account for China (as Aquixalus naso). Li, Zhao, and Dong, 2010, Amph. Rept. Tibet: 63-64, provided an account (as Rhacophorus naso) for Xizang, China. Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2012, Colored Atlas Chinese Amph. Distr.: 500, provided an account (as Aquixalus naso), photographs, and a range map for China. Yu, Rao, Matsui, and Yang, 2017, Sci. Rep. (Nature, London), 7 (16124): 1–13, noted that records of Kurixalus verrucosus from Xizang, China, are referable to Kurixalus naso, and also noted two unnamed species in the Kachin, Myanmar, region. Che, Jiang, Yan, and Zhang, 2020, Amph. Rept. Tibet: 335–339, provided a detailed account for Tibet, China.

Rev., 51: 793, identified a photograph as of this species from Bhutan. Lalronunga, Vanramliana, Lalramliana, and Lalhmingliani, 2021, Zootaxa, 4974: 385, suggested that Kurixalus yangi may be a synonym of Kurixalus naso.
