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

Members of the genus Sphaerotheca are known to have the distribution in the low to mid elevation landscapes of South Asia. Most of the descriptions are either from homestead areas or from agro ecosystems except for a couple of species described from the mid elevated forest areas. The taxonomic uncertainties prevalent in the group was attended very recently, limiting the descriptions of five species to India, two species to Nepal and one each to Pakistan and Sri Lanka (one undescribed species from Myanmar). Here a new species assignable to the morphological 'Breviceps group' is described from the agro ecosystems of Jharkhand based on a combination of morphological, phylogenetic and geographical studies using integrated taxonomic approach. Besides, the distribution status of Sphaerotheca pashchima is discussed and the possibility of a new species occurring in Myanmar is pointed out.Keywords
