Remarks. The type locality given by Temminck & Schlegel (1838: 135) is “Sakanosta,…, des monts Suzuga jama” and “mont Okude”. The lectotype was selected by Hoogmoed (1978: 102). There is a paralectotype in the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris (MNHNP 7614), and although not included in Hoogmoed (1978), Bauer et al. (1993: 290) listed ZMB 30646 as paralectotype, in the Museum für Naturkunde der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, obtained through exchange with the Leiden museum. All these specimens are also the type series of Megalobatrachus Sieboldii Tschudi, 1838 and of Triton japonicus Temminck, 1836.
