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.
