Specimens collected in Pakistan by Annandale (1917) and assigned
to Rana pleskei (= Nanorana pleskei) were allocated
to Scutiger occidentalis (= S. nyingchiensis) by Dubois
(1978, 1987). The Kashmir specimen reported by Mertens (1969), is
referable to R. vicina (= Paa vicina) (Dubois and Khan
1979). Other reports of N. pleskei in Pakistan and Kashmir
are references
to the above collections
that have now been allocated
to other species.[1].
