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.
