Micrixalus kottigeharensis (commonly known as Kottigehar dancing frog or Kottigehar torrent frog) is a species of frog in the family Micrixalidae. It is endemic to the Western Ghats in Karnataka, India.[2] It is one of the "Top 100 Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered (EDGE) Amphibians".[3] The specific name means "from Kottigehara".
Taxonomy[edit | edit source]
Until 2014, both Micrixalus narainensis and Micrixalus swamianus were considered separate species, but have since been classified as junior synonyms of M. kottigeharensis based on phylogenetic analyses.[4]
Description[edit | edit source]
Male Micrixalus kottigeharensis grow to a snout–vent length of 22–24 mm (0.87–0.94 in) and females to 28–33 mm (1.1–1.3 in).[4]
Habitat[edit | edit source]
The preferred habitat of Micrixalus kottigeharensis are fast-flowing streams in primary and secondary forests.[4] It is threatened by habitat loss.[1]
