Some hylids make ovipositional dips similar to those described here, but the females of other hylids and
some ranids (e.g., part of the Lithobates catesbeianus group; Aronson 1943a–b) that produce surface films of eggs
arch the middles of their backs downwards sufficiently to position their vents above the water while lying almost
horizontal at the surface. Soonthornvipat and Soonthornvipat (2010) noted that the fertilized eggs of G. molossus
are 4.5"0.8 mm in diameter and that embryos hatched at 5.0"0.17 mm total length about 25 h after fertilization at
22–26EC. External gills are present, 5-day old tadpoles were 9.1"0.02 mm in length, hind limbs were obvious after
12 days, and metamorphosis occurred after 33 days
