The present study was carried out to evaluate the blood sugar level lowering effect of different extract of Bergenia ligulata ischolar_main i.e. Pet. ether, Solvent ether, Chloroform, Acetone and Ethanol extracts in alloxan induced diabetic rats. The duration of study was 15 days. Blood sugar level lowering activity was evaluated by measuring the Blood sugar level and lipid profile (Total Cholesterol, Total Glyceride, High Density Lipoprotein, Low Density Lipoprotein, and Very Low Density Lipoprotein). The acetone extract has shown significant effect on blood sugar level at a dose of (500 mg/kg,b.w, p.o/day). The study results suggested the Bergenia ligulata ischolar_mains possess' significant activity. The different extract of the ischolar_main of Bergenia ligulata were subjected to preliminary phytochemical screening and reveals the presence of Alkaloids, Glycosides, Tannins, Flavonoids and Sterols.Keywords

Based on a combination of field explorations, morphological characters and molecular studies, a large sized Fejervarya species new to science is described using an integrated taxonomic approach. Here, the new species is diagnosed on the basis of distinctness in morphology, genetic distance and geography. The new species is assignable to the Fejervarya nilagirica morphological group. In addition, taxonomic problems among the congeners of Fejervarya in the Western Ghats are discussed. Finally, we describe the pattern of species representations of different morphological group in the Goa landscape.Keywords

Based on the field explorations in the Western Ghats, a day gecko of the genus Cnemaspis 1887 is described from the Nilgiri hill ranges of Tamil Nadu. A medium sized gecko is distinguished from all the other congeners by a set of distinct morphological characters. Current taxonomic issues persisting among the members of genus Cnemaspis reported from the Western Ghats and India are discussed. The new species is found to have restrictive range of distribution in the higher elevations of Nilgiri hills. The discovery of a new high altitude endemic species indicates a need of further explorations in Nilgiri hill ranges.Keywords

The Karaavali skittering frog, Euphlyctis karaavali was described in 2016 from the western coastal plains of Karnataka, India with the IUCN Red list conservation status as ‘Endangered’. In the present account, species distribution boundaries has been re-defined based on the field sampling and museum collections. On account of the present studies, IUCN Red list conservation status for the species is proposed as ‘Near Threatened’. Discussions have been made on the morphological crypticity prevailing in the genus and the species complex E. cyanophlyctis since two centuries. Premature proposal of Red list conservation status during the new species descriptions and their implications on the biodiversity documentation studies are reviewed.Keywords
