The three species of frogs under the Genus Philautus reported from Meghalaya are Philautus kempiae, P. namdaphaensis and P. garo. While P. kempiae is endemic to Meghalaya, P. namdaphaensis has also been reported from Arunachal Pradesh, and P. garo from Assam and Nagaland. All these three species are decidedly rare as they are not encountered in the field generally. This could be one of the contributing factors for the dearth of information or any studies related to these species. The present paper deals with a detailed morphological study on 6 specimens of P. garo.Full Text

The genus Raorchestes was erected by Biju et al. (2010) and is represented by 51 species in India (Frost, 2015). In North East India, this genus is represented by 4 species (R. annandalii, R. manipurensis, R. sahai and R. shillongensis) (Mathew&Sen, 2010). Among these mentioned species, R. manipurensis was recently described by Mathew and Sen (2009) from Manipur from a single specimen that is deposited in the National Zoological Collection (V/A/ERS/ZSI/810) of Zoological Survey of India, Shillong. Till date this species is known from its type locality only. The current study pertains to a male frog collected from Nongkhyllem Wildlife Sanctuary located in Ri-Bhoi district of Meghalaya on 11 June, 2013.Full Text

Hydaticus (Prodaticus) bipunctatus bipunctatus has previously been reported from two other States of North East India - Sikkim (Mukherjee and Sengupta, 1986) and Manipur (Mukhopadhyay and Ghosh, 2003). Therefore, the present report of the species from Meghalaya makes it the 3rd state in this region where the distribution of this species has been confirmed.Keywords

The recent descriptions and range extensions of many species of genus Megophrys have raised the number of species in Meghalaya from two to eight. While M. boettgeri was removed from the faunal list of India in 2013, a recent report on its occurrence in Meghalaya needs to be verified. Considerable doubts have been raised regarding the range extension of M. wuliangshanensis into India in recent years. Discussions on the distributional records of this species from India are provided and re-examination of a few specimens identified as M. wuliangshanensis by previous workers have also been done. A common name for M. oropedion is also proposed.Keywords
