A tiny frog recorded in Dampa Tiger Reserve, Mizoram, has extended the known range of the Northeast Indian Paddy Frog (Micryletta aishani). The discovery represents the species’ southernmost documented occurrence, adding an important new location to its known distribution.
The Dampa population was found approximately 147 km south of the type locality at Subhong, Assam, and about 23 km southwest of its previously known Mizoram record at Sihhmui, Aizawl district. The study also provides the first documented information on the species’ diet.
