Remarks. Although a specimen at ZRC labelled Rana paramacrodon that was collected at NSSF by C.F. Lim on 17 December 1974, it was only first reported from Singapore in 1989 (Lim 1989a). In the same article that Lim (1989a) first reported L. paramacrodon from Singapore, he also reported on an additional six specimens collected at NSSF in 1988. Since then, L. paramacrodon has mostly been collected in NSSF ( Lim & Yang 1991), until three were collected at Mandai, one at CTF (Lim 1995), and a few individuals were seen in 2002 on PT ( Lim et al. 2016).

Occurrence. Restricted to CCNR and PT. Rare.

Singapore conservation status. Critically Endangered.

Conservation priority. Highest.

IUCN conservation status. Least Concern [2022].
