Remarks. Pulchrana baramica and P. laterimaculata were both previously known in Singapore as P. glandulosa (see accounts above). In comparing the differences between P. baramica and P. laterimaculata with P. rawa, Matsui et al. (2012) also summarised the erection of Pulchrana by Dubois (1992). The authors noted that P. glandulosa was placed into the new genus, and included Singapore in its distribution. As Matsui et al. (2012) also discussed P. baramica and P. laterimaculata from Singapore, it can only be taken that they were referring to P. glandulosa sensu stricto. In fact, Singapore was also listed in the distribution of P. glandulosa on the Amphibian Species of the World database as cited by Goldberg et al. (2017). Nonetheless, P. glandulosa ranges from southern Vietnam west to southern Thailand, and south through Peninsular Malaysia to Sumatra, Natuna Islands., and Borneo, but does not occur in Singapore ( Inger 1966; Leong 2001b; Orlov et al. 2002b).
