Zhangixalus dennysi (Blanford, 1881) — Erroneous.
Denny’s Whipping Frog
Singapore records.
Polypedates dennysi —Zhao & Adler, 1993: 155.
Remarks. Zhao & Adler (1993) informed that Liu & Hu (1961) incorrectly stated ‘Singapore’ as the type locality for Z. dennysi, expressing that Liu & Hu (1961) seemingly misinterpreted Blanford’s (1881) original description. Blanford (1881) named the new species after Dennys because he examined a specimen deposited by Dennys at the Raffles Museum which was obtained by the latter from a Chinese merchant named Whampoa (also known as Hoo Ah Kay). The specimen was collected from an unknown locality in China (Blanford 1881). Zhangixalus dennysi ranges from Myanmar and Laos, east through northeastern Vietnam east to southeastern China and Hainan Island (Pham et al. 2017).
