An electrophoretic survey was conducted for the Southeast and East Asian populations of Rana limnocharis. Results indicated that specimens from a single locality in Java derived from two genodemes showing complete allelic displacement at eight out of 25 presumptive loci examined. Within each of these genodemes, genotype frequencies at all polymorphic loci were well concordant with the Hardy-Weinberg expectation. These results strongly suggest that those specimens actually represent two biological species. Comprehensive distance analyses suggested that one of the two species from Java is genetically most divergent among all samples examined, whereas the other is most similar to the Laos sample and then to a group consisting of samples from Hongkong, western China, and the southern Ryukyus. Large values of genetic distances obtained for each combination of allopatric samples imply the presence of additional cryptic species in this nominal species.
