Minervarya neilcoxi

Neil Cox's burrowing frog, Minervarya neilcoxi (first described as Fejervarya neilcoxi), was described in 2017 by Sonali Garg and S. D. Biju from Parambikulam Tiger Reserve in Kerala's Palakkad district. It is named for Dr Neil Cox of the Biodiversity Assessment Unit, for his part in preparing the global amphibian Red List assessments. It is known only from its type locality, in the Palghat gap area of the Western Ghats. (news reports and the original description).

Like the other three species described in the same paper it burrows or hides under leaf litter and stones, away from water, and is visible only for two or three weeks a year at the start of the south-west monsoon. (news reports on the original description).
