It is found in Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam; it might well occur in Northeast India and Yunnan, China.

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

Male frogs attend the nest; their skin secretions might inhibit fungal or bacterial infections.

[4] This contrast to the earlier belief that Limnonectes limborgi has direct development, i.e., no free-swimming tadpole stage, and hatching as tiny full-formed frogs.

Notice that this phenomenon is originally reported for L. hascheanus, but the observations came outside the range of that species, and probably apply to L. limborgi (as currently defined).
