Comment
Taylor, 1962, Univ. Kansas Sci. Bull., 43: 523-526, discussed the Thai populations, thought that the name might cover at least two species, and provided an account; see also Bourret, 1942, Batr. Indochine: 451-452. Heyer, 1971, Fieldiana, Zool., 58: 61–82, reported on the call from Thailand. See comments by Inger, Orlov, and Darevsky, 1999, Fieldiana, Zool., N.S., 92: 28. Sukumaran, 2003 "2002", Hamadryad, 27: 1-10, provided the peninsular Malaysian record. Reported for southwestern Cambodia by Ohler, Swan, and Daltry, 2002, Raffles Bull. Zool., 50: 465-481. Nutphund, 2001, Amph. Thailand: 158, provided a brief characterization and photograph, which Ohler, 2003, Alytes, 21: 101, attributed to Polypedates sp. Chan-ard, 2003, Photograph. Guide Amph. Thailand: 148-149, provided a very brief account, map for Thailand, and photograph. Nguyen, Ho, and Nguyen, 2005, Checklist Amph. Rept. Vietnam: 36, provided specific localities for Vietnam. Reported for Pulau Langkawi, Kadeh, northwestern West Malaysia, by Grismer, Youmans, Wood, Ponce, Wright, Jones, Johnson, Sanders, Gower, Yaakob, and Lim, 2006, Hamadryad, 30: 61-74. Stuart, 2005, Herpetol. Rev., 36: 478, provided the record for Laos. Stuart and Emmett, 2006, Fieldiana, Zool., N.S., 109: 11, provided a record for the Cardamom Mountains, southwestern Cambodia. Ghose and Bhuiyan, 2012, Herpetol. Rev., 43: 98-99, reported the species for Bangladesh. The record published by Yu, Liu, Hou, Li, and Yang, 2019, Zootaxa, 4577: 381–391, for Mengla County, extreme southern Yunnan, China, was subsequently suggested by Jiang, Ren, Wang, Guo, Wang, Liu, Jiang, and Li, 2020, Asian Herpetol. Res., 11: 263–281, to be Raorchestes menglaensis.
