Dytiscidae are a moderately large family, commonly known as predacious diving beetles. They have unique swimming method. As a whole dytiscid beetles of Arunachal Pradesh as well as those from North-East India are still poorly known though the region is well known for its rich faunal diversity. Of the dytiscid known from India (currently more than 251 species), only 14 species have been reported from Arunachal Pradesh (Ghosh & Nilsson, 2012) which highlight the low level of studies of the family in the state which is located in one of the global biodiversity hotspot.Full Text

Arunachal Pradesh, the easternmost state of India, forms a part of Eastern Himalaya global biodiversity hotspot (Myers et al., 2000) and is also among the 200 globally important ecoregions (Olson and Dinerstein, 1998). Its unique geophysical location in the transition zone between the Palearctic and Orioental biogeogrpahic regions is one of prime reasons for its rich biodiversity. Being in the ecotone of the two regions, due to edge effect, the state possess biotic elements from both the regions as well as have its exclusive components and thus represent Indo-Chinese, Indo-Malayan, Indo-Burmese and Indian biotic components. This had earned the state the distinction of one of the main corridor for eastern entrant of the Indian sub-region (Borang, 2001).Full Text

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.Keywords

The dicroglossid frog Nanorana conaensis was described from the high elevation mountain ranges of Tibet about three decades ago. Recently this species was reported from India as a first record for India. In the present account, detailed morphological data, genetic data and phylogenetic status has been provided with a photograph of live animal in order to facilitate easy identification of the species from India.Keywords

The present study is based on herpetofaunal observations made from November 2019 to November 2020, as well as the study of both collections made from the study area and deposited in the National Zoological Collection (NZC) of the Zoological Survey of India (ZSI), APRC, Itanagar. The herpetofaunal diversity of ZSI campus, Itanagar, comprises 37 species under 32 genera, 14 families and 3 orders. Reptiles (78%) are found to be more diverse than the amphibians (22%) in the area. The herpetofauna of the ZSI campus represents 12% and 27% of the total Amphibian and Reptilian diversity of the state, respectively. The occurrence of one endangered species, Coura mouhotii (Gray, 1862) and quite a few taxa of legal protection value, highlights the importance of the herpetofaunal diversity of the ZSI campus, Itanagar.Keywords
