Minervarya manoharani

Manoharan's burrowing frog, Minervarya manoharani (first described as Fejervarya manoharani), was described in 2017 by Sonali Garg and S. D. Biju from Kerala's Agasthyamala hills. It is named after T. M. Manoharan, a former principal chief conservator of forests of Kerala, who gave financial support to Biju early in his career. (news reports on the original description).

Like the other three species described in the same paper it burrows or hides under leaf litter and stones, is not found near water, and is visible for only two or three weeks a year at the start of the south-west monsoon. The species was told apart from the rufescent burrowing frog by DNA, appearance and call. (news reports on the original description).
