Raorchestes jadoh

Raorchestes jadoh is a small bush frog (family Rhacophoridae) described in 2025 from the Khasi Hills of Meghalaya from morphology, calls and 16S rRNA sequences. It belongs to the Raorchestes parvulus complex and is named after jadoh, a traditional Khasi rice-and-meat dish. (web summaries of the original description).

It was found at Langtor, Eastern West Khasi Hills, at 1,655 m, in secondary habitats near human settlements. Calling males show a transparent gular pouch, and the tips of the fingers and toes are expanded into discs with circum-marginal grooves. It is thought to be direct-developing, so eggs hatch into small frogs without a tadpole stage. (web summaries of the original description).
