Clinotarsus curtipes
Range
Endemic to the Western Ghats
The bicolored frog or Malabar frog (Clinotarsus curtipes) is endemic to the Western Ghats of India. The head is large and the snout short and rounded, with a well-marked canthus rostralis and a concave loreal region. The nostril is nearer the snout tip than the eye, and the tympanum is distinct and nearly as large as the eye (Wikipedia, general species account).
The tadpoles are black, large (more than 9 cm in total length), and form dense, compact schools in slow-moving streams in forested areas (Wikipedia, general species account).
