It is found in the Malay Peninsula (from southern Myanmar and Thailand to Peninsular Malaysia); its occurrence in the Andaman Islands requires confirmation.

[2] While the species are morphologically similar, mainly differing in body size (L. hascheanus is smaller), they are genetically distinct.

[1] The life cycle of Limnonectes hascheanus has earlier been reported to have direct development (no free-swimming tadpole stage, which instead hatch as tiny full-formed frogs).

Notice that the original observations of this phenomenon came from outside the range of L. hascheanus and probably apply to L.

[3] More importantly, careful observations have shown that L. limborgi has free-swimming but endotrophic larvae; this probably applies to L. hascheanus too.
