Ombrana is a monotypic genus of frogs in the family Dicroglossidae. It is represented by a single species, Ombrana sikimensis. The validity of this genus is currently considered uncertain. [3]

Ombrana sikimensis is found in central and eastern Nepal and in parts of northeastern India (Sikkim, West Bengal, and Meghalaya). It may also occur in Bhutan. [4] It has been recorded at elevations between 1,000 and 2,000 m (3,300 and 6,600 ft) above sea level. [2] Ombrana sikimensis typically prefer hiding in clusters underneath rocks in shallow streams.
