Nyctibatrachus indraneili is a species of frog endemic to India. It is also commonly called Indraneil’s night frog.[2] [3]
Distribution and habitat
[edit]
At the time of describing this species in 2011, it was known only from the Longwood shola forest at Kotagiri in Tamil Nadu. It was found under the rocks of a flowing stream inside a forest.[2] An IUCN assessment published in 2023 assessed the species as Critically Endangered.[1]
This species was named after Indraneil Das, a herpetologist from India for his contributions to herpetological research in South Asia.[2]
