About Limnonectes fujianensis Ye & Fei, 1994

It is the closest relative of Limnonectes kuhlii, and was previously misidentified as this species. Its scientific name references its type locality, located in Fujian province, China. In addition to Fujian, this frog can also be found in the Chinese provinces of Hunan, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi, and in Taiwan.
