Minervarya krishnan

Minervarya krishnan was described as Fejervarya krishnan in 2018 by Raj, Dinesh, Das, Dutta, Kar and Mohapatra in the Records of the Zoological Survey of India, in a paper describing two new cricket frogs from peninsular India (the other is the Odisha species M. kalinga). Its type specimen came from Jog Falls in Karnataka's Shimoga district, at about 508 m. (citation of the original description).

It is a cricket frog of the sahyadris species group, along with M. gomantaki and M. sahyadris, and is known only from its type locality, though it is expected to occur more widely in the Western Ghats. (citation of the original description).
