Micrixalus herrei
Species of frog / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Micrixalus herrei is a newly redescribed species of frog in the family Micrixalidae.[1][2] Originally described in 1942,[3] it was synonymized with M. fuscus in 1984.[4] However, morphological differences as well as DNA evidence confirm this species to be valid.[1] It is endemic to the Western Ghats, India, and occurs south of the Shencottah Gap in Kerala and Tamil Nadu states.[2] The common name Kallar dancing frog has been proposed for this species, in reference to Kallar, Trivandrum, its type locality.[1][2]
