Abstract

Report of any threatened taxon is important from both taxonomic and conservation point of view. Pterorana khare is a vulnerable species of frog. It has been reported from a few disjunctive pockets of all the North-East India states, except Tripura. Besides, there are single reports of this species from Bangladesh and Myanmar. In Assam, this species was previously reported from Nameri National Park on the north bank of River Brahmaputra, while from the south bank, we are reporting it for the first time, based upon specimens collected from Barail Wildlife Sanctuary.
