Remarks.

The taxonomic placement and distribution of O. bacboensis from China has been disputed, with Poyarkov et al. (2021) recommending verification for the presence of this species in China. The type locality for O. bacboensis , based on the original description, is the Khe Moi River, Con Cuong Village, Con Cuong District, Nghe An Province, Vietnam. However, Wang et al. (2015) reported it as a new country record for China with samples collected from Hekou County, Yunnan, and Bainan Village, Napo County, Guangxi, indicating a range extension from northern-central Vietnam to south-eastern Yunnan and the adjacent area in Guangxi Province, China. Molecular analyses recovered these Odorrana samples by Wang et al. (2015) within the true O. bacboensis subclade ( BPP = 1; BS = 100) (see clade B) clustering with the paratype sequence (GenBank accession number DQ 650569 View Materials ; voucher FMNH 255611 ) collected from the type locality Khe Moi, Nghe An, Vietnam, thus supporting the presence of the species in both mainland China and Vietnam.
