Endemic to India, including the Western Ghats
Raorchestes hassanensis, the Hassan bush frog or Dutta's bubble-nest frog, is endemic to India, including the Western Ghats. Scientists once believed this population to be part of Raorchestes flaviventris, but a reassessment was published in 2015 (Wikipedia, general species account).
The frog lives in evergreen and shola forests and has also been observed on coffee and tea plantations. It seems to tolerate some habitat disturbance but not an entirely open canopy (Wikipedia, general species account).
