Abstract
A new frog of the genus Philautus is described from
Wayanad district in the Western Ghats of India. It differs
from all its congeners by the combination of
webbed fingers, nearly fully webbed toes and a distinct
dermal fringe along the outer margin of the fore -
and hind limbs. Philautus nerostagona sp. nov. exhibits
several characteristics suggesting that it is strongly
adapted to life in the upper layers of the rainforest.
