Distribution

This species is native in central, southern and southwestern China and Indo-China peninsula. It is closely related to "Polypedates leucomystax" and always included in "P. leucomystex" species complex, along with "P. mutus" and "P". "braueri".

Previously, "P. megacephalus" was thought to distribute above the Red River of Vietnam and in Northeast India, while "P. leucomystex" was generally found south of the Red River and in western Yunnan. However, recent genetic studies revealed that the natural barriers between these species are the Isthmus of Kra and the Tenasserim Range, where "P. megacephalus" can be found above the isthmus and east of the range.
