Comment
See account by Brown and Alcala, 1994, Proc. California Acad. Sci., Ser. 4, 48: 185–220 (as Philautus emembranatus, and who considered it to be in the Philautus surdus group). Brown, Alcala, and Brown, 1998, J. Herpetol., 32: 131–132, discussed the nomenclature of the species, removing the senior name from the synonymy of Platymantis guentheri, where it had been placed by Inger, 1954, Fieldiana, Zool., 33: 362. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 535. See brief notes for Mindanao, Philippines, by Sanguila, Cobb, Siler, Diesmos, Alcala, and Brown, 2016, ZooKeys, 624: 49–50. See comments by Baron, Marin, Logramonte, and Mohagan, 2021, Asian Herpetol. Res., 12: 76–87.
