Comment

In the Rhacophorus (Rhacophorus) reinwardtii group of Dubois, 1987 "1986", Alytes, 5: 77; see comment under Rhacophorus for dissenting opinion regarding the recognition of this group. See account by Bourret, 1942, Batr. Indochine: 448–449. See Inger, 1966, Fieldiana, Zool., 52: 293–297, for account. See identification table by Manthey and Grossmann, 1997, Amph. Rept. Südostasiens: 122–123, to compare this species to other rhacophorids of the Sunda Shelf region. Malkmus, Manthey, Vogel, Hoffmann, and Kosuch, 2002, Amph. Rept. Mount Kinabalu: 209–210, provided an account. See statement of geographic range, habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 635, who noted that the records for Rhacophorus dulitensis for Sumatra are now referred to Rhacophorus prominanus. Das, 2007, Amph. Rept. Brunei: 76, provided a photograph and brief account. Haas, Hertwig, Krings, Braskamp, Dehling, Min, Jankowski, Schweizer, and Das, 2012, Zootaxa, 3328: 1–19, reported on larval morphology. Dehling and Dehling, 2013, Check List, 9: 425–426, provided a range extension to western Borneo and provided a range map. Ujang, Hadimar, Llano-Sánchez, Maiwald, and Das, 2021, Herpetol. Rev., 52: 79, provided a record from West Kalimantan Province (Borneo), Indonesia. Gillespie, Ahmad, and Shia, 2021, Field Guide Frog Lower Kinabatangan Region Sabah: 41, provided a brief account, summarizing identification and life history in the Lower Kinabatangan Region, Sabah, Malaysia. Haas, Das, Hertwig, Bublies, and Schulz-Schaeffer, 2022, Guide to the Tadpoles of Borneo: 394–396, summarized the knowledge of habitat, reproduction, larval morphology and coloration.
