Comment
See brief account (as Ranixalus gundia) by Chanda, 2002, Handb. Indian Amph.: 82, 208-209). Dubois, 1987 "1986", Alytes, 5: 175, regarded Ranixalus gundia Dubois a likely synonym of Polypedates brachytarsus (= Indirana brachytarsus), but did not make the synonymy pending examination of the types. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 480. A very brief characterization, photograph, and dot map provided by Subramanian, Dinesh, and Radhakrishnan, 2013, Atlas of Endemic Amph. W. Ghats: 108. Jesmina and George, 2015, Biodiversity Data J., 3: e5825: 1–6, provided records for northern Kerala. Dahanukar, Modak, Krutha, Nameer, Padhye, and Molur, 2016, J. Threatened Taxa, 8: 9274–9276, provided a detailed account and placed this in the Indirana beddomii group. See brief account by Garg and Biju, 2016, PLoS One, 11(11:e0166326): 21.
