description Limnonectes is one of the poorly-known genera of amphibians in Vietnam. In the herpetofaunal list of Vietnam in 2009, only five species of the genus Limnonectes were recorded from the country. Recently, four new species (L. nguyenorum, L. quangninhensis, L. kiziriani and L. phuyenensis) and three new country records (L. gyldenstolpei, L. fastigatus and L. kohchangae) were reported from Vietnam.Based on recent field-work in South Central of Vietnam, we report four new provincial records of the genus Limnonectes from Phu Yen, Khanh Hoa, Binh Thuan and Gia Lai Provinces, namely L. dabanus, L. fastigatus, L. limborgi and L. phuyenensis. In addition, morphological data and ecological notes of the aforementioned species are provided.
