Euphlyctis cyanophlyctis, the Indian skipper frog or skittering frog, is a common dicroglossid frog of South Asia. It is a very aquatic species found in marshes, pools and various other wetlands, and is often seen at the edge of the water with its eyes above the surface (Wikipedia, general species account).
The head is moderate and the snout scarcely pointed. The canthus rostralis is indistinct, the space between the eyes is much narrower than the upper eyelid, and the tympanum is distinct, about two-thirds the size of the eye (Wikipedia, general species account).
