Nanorana mokokchungensis (common name: Mokokchung frog [2] [3] ) is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to Northeast India and only known from its type locality, Mokokchung in Nagaland. [1] [2] [3]
Nanorana mokokchungensis is a robust-bodied and relatively large frog, reaching 87 mm (3.4 in) in snout–vent length. The snout is rounded and flattened. The eyes are large. The supra-tympanic fold is glandular, while the tympanum itself is absent. The forearms are robust. The finger tips are swollen but not dilated into discs; no webbing is present. The tibia are long and robust. The toes are moderately webbed and have weakly swollen tips. The dorsum bears large, scattered tubercles. Dorsal colouration is uniformly grey, but the upper eyelids are yellowish-grey. The thighs have diffuse crossbands. The ventral parts are cream with greyish variegations. Males have a subgular vocal sac. [3]
Nanorana mokokchungensis is a semi-aquatic frog known from hill streams at elevations of 1,000–1,400 m (3,300–4,600 ft). [3] It is a poorly known species; threats to it are unknown. It is protected by national legislation in India. [1]
Microhyla chakrapanii is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae, the narrow-mouthed frogs. It is endemic to the Andaman Islands. It is also known as the Mayabunder rice frog, Chakrapani's narrow-mouthed frog, and bilateral banded frog. Although morphology suggests association with the Microhyla achatina group, molecular data places it in the Microhyla fissipes group, with Microhyla mymensinghensis as its closest relative.
Blaira ornata, known with common names ornate toad, Malabar torrent toad or black torrent toad, is a rare and endangered species of toad endemic to the Western Ghats. In 2009, this species along with A. rubigina was shifted from Ansonia to the genus Ghatophryne. The publication of the new genus however did not meet ICZN requirements and a new genus Blaira was created in 2021.

It is threatened by collection for food and also habitat loss.
Nanorana unculuanus is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to central and southern Yunnan, China, although it is expected to have wider distribution than currently known, possibly extending into Vietnam. Its natural habitats are fast-flowing hill streams and riparian habitats in forests and grasslands, but also man-made habitats like roadside drainage ditches and ponds. It is a rare and secretive species that appears to be declining. It is currently threatened by collection for food and also by habitat loss.
Nanorana ventripunctata is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to northwestern Yunnan, China. It inhabits lakes, pools and ponds in alpine areas, occurring near streams and rivers in open, high-elevation habitats. It breeds in still-water pools and ponds.
Nanorana blanfordii is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in northeastern India, southern Tibet (China), and eastern Nepal, and likely in the adjacent western Bhutan. The specific name blanfordii honours William Thomas Blandford, a British geologist and zoologist.
Nanorana ercepeae is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to western Nepal. Its type locality is Torrent Jiuli Gad in Bajhang district. This relatively rare frog is found in stream habitats in upland temperate rainforests. One specimen of P. ercepeae was recorded from the still-water habitats of Rara Lake in Rara National Park. It is threatened by habitat loss and degradation caused by small-scale agricultural development and wood extraction.
Nanorana feae is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in Yunnan, China, and the Kachin Hills in Myanmar. The specific name feae honors Leonardo Fea, an Italian explorer, zoologist, and naturalist. This little-known species probably inhabits hill streams in forested areas.
