From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Frogs of India)

This is an index to the amphibians found in India. The amphibians of India show a high level of endemism.[1] This list is based largely on the Zoological Survey of India's Fauna of India Checklist[2] and from older books and journals.[3][4][5]

There are 3 orders in the class Amphibia, the caecillians (Gymnophiona), the salamanders (Caudata) and the frogs and toads (Anura), all three of which are found in India.[2]

There are 488 species found in India, out of which 445 are frogs and toads, 41 are caecillians, and 2 are salamanders.[2]
