SUMMARY
Noble (1924) expressed doubt as to the distinctness of this species from R. aequiplicata (now Ptychadena aequiplicata), but study has upheld that the species are indeed distinct. However, it is not clear that all specimens reported to be P. christyi are actually the same species (Largen and Howell, 2004).
