context_page_description: Limnonectes hascheanus is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in the Malay Peninsula; its occurrence in the Andaman Islands requires confirmation. It is a small frog, males being 19–25 mm and females 21–25 mm snout-vent length.
context_section_description: Taxonomic work by Robert F. Inger and Bryan L. Stuart in 2010 on Limnonectes hascheanus and L. limborgi has led to better understanding of these similar species — L. limborgi has been considered a junior synonym of L. hascheanus. While the species are morphologically similar, mainly differing in body size (L. hascheanus is smaller), they are genetically distinct. This taxonomic work has also led to redefinition of ranges of both species, and the range of L. hascheanus (as presently defined) is much more restricted than what was reported in the latest (2004) IUCN assessment for this species.
