Detailed Study on Philautus garo (Boulenger, 1919) (Amphibia:Anura: Rhacophoridae) - An Extremely Rare and Endemic Species of North-East India
Subscribe/Renew Journal
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.
