The endemic Asian megophryid genus Megophrys is represented by a total of 77 species of which 14 are reported to occur in India. Due to its close proximity to China, Arunachal Pradesh- the easternmost state of India- is believed to harbor many species of amphibians endemic to China. One such Megophrys species endemic to China, Megophrys pachyproctus, is reported herein this paper as the first record for India, based on a single specimen collected from Talle Valley Wildlife Sanctuary in Ziro Valley of Arunachal Pradesh.
