Published 2007-04-21

Abstract

Species of Fejervarya were described under the nomen Rana / Limnonectes / Fejervarya limnocharis from northeast India. Based on morphological description provided by Schleich and Kästle (2002) we recognized four species of Fejervarya namely, F. nepalensis, F. pierrei, F. syhadrensis and F. teraiensis from Assam. All these species are sympatric and except F. syhadrensis are restricted to Eastern Himalaya and adjacent flood plains.
