Taylor: Philippine Amphibia 
221 
Rana jerboa Gunther. 
Reported by Casto de Elera (op. cit.) from “Samar, Loquilocum,” with 
specimens in Santo Tomas Museum. No specimen is there at present. 
Rana luctuosa Peters. 
Reported by Casto de Elera (op. cit.) from “Mindanao, Butuan,” with 
specimens in the Santo Tomas Museum. No specimen of this species 
is there at the present time. 
Rhacophorus rizali Boettger. 
According to Boulenger, this species is synonymous with Polypedates 
pardalis Gunther, an opinion in which I concur. 
Ixalus pictus Peters. 
Reported by Casto de Elera (op. cit.) from Paragua. 
Nectophryne sundana Peters. 
This problematic species of Peters has been included in the Fauna by 
Muller, III Nachtr. Cat. Herp. Samml. Basel. Mus. (1883) 7. The locality 
given is Mindanao. On the statement of Jean Roux, Proc. Zool. Soc. 
London 1 (1906) 64, the type is the only specimen extant. Evidently 
Muller’s specimen has received another designation. The type of this 
species, as well as the specimen studied by Muller, should be reexamined and 
the status of the name permanently fixed. 
Nectophryne guentheri Boulenger. 
Listed from Mindanao by Casto de Elera; no specimen is now in Santo 
Tomas Museum. 
Bufo divergens Peters. 
The species reported from Palawan under this name by Mocquard, Nouv. 
Arch. Mus. 2 (1890) 153, is regarded by Boulenger, Ann. & Mag. Nat. 
Hist. VI 14 (1894) 88, as synonymous with Bufo philippinicus Boulenger, 
an opinion in which I concur. 
Bufo biporcatus Gunther. 
Reported by Casto de Elera from Luzon, Manila, Batangas, and San 
Pablo, with specimens in the Santo Tomas Museum. 
Bufo panayensis Seaone. 
This species and a snake, Piesigaster boettgeri Seaone, were reported 
as originating in Panay. As a matter of fact, they are both West Indian 
species; the toad is Bufo lemur, and the snake is Epicrates inomatus 
Reinhardt. 
Hyla chinensis Gunther. 
This species is reported by Casto de Elera from Luzon and Basilan, 
with specimens in Santo Tomas Museum. 
Hyledactylus pictus Bibron. 
Reported by Casto de Elera from “Luzon, Bulacan.” A synonjun of 
Kaloula picta? 
Molge sinensis Boulenger. 
Reported by Casto de Elera from “Luzon, Cagayan, Pamplona.”
