🅾 The biodiversity hotspot of Kamlang-Namdapha landscape in Arunachal Pradesh has three new-to-science frog genera to its credit.
➖ Tucked between Myanmar and India, Namdapha is considered the northernmost limit of the tropical rainforest in the world.
✔️ The first discovery, Gracixalus patkaiensis, is a green frog that’s almost transparent, resembling jelly.
✔️ Second frog, named Alcalus fontinalis, more than a decade after the last species in the genus, A. rajae was discovered from Indonesia, brings the total number of species in the genus Alcalus to six.
✔️ Third frog to be discovered is found in marshy areas and is named after the Noa-Dihing river, the lifeline of Namdapha. Like in the previous discoveries where the scientists explored unique habitats like canopies, understories and brooks, this “music frog”, named Nidirana noadihing, was discovered from the knee-deep marshes in the region.
