Amolops chakrataensis
Species of amphibian / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amolops chakrataensis, also known as the Dehradun stream frog[2][3] or Chakrata torrent frog,[4] is a species of frog endemic to India. It is only known from its type locality near Chakrata in Uttarakhand (formerly Uttar Pradesh),[2][4] near the Tiger Falls.[3] It was described based on a single specimen collected in 1985. After being "lost" for 25 years, the species was rediscovered in 2011 at its type locality, reflecting the lack of field work in the area.[3]
