Paratypes resemble the holotype in all aspects of morphology. Mid dorsal line was not observed in any of the specimens used in the current study.</p><p>Etymology: The specific epithet is referred to the geographic region of historical Kalinga Kingdom, comprising present day south Odisha and northern Andhra Pradesh between the river Mahanadi and river Godavari in India. The specific name is a noun standing in apposition to the generic name. Suggested common name: ‘Kalinga Cricket frog’.</p><p>Distribution and Natural History: This species is known with certainty from several locaities in Odisha such as Mahendragiri hills, Gajapati district; Barbara RF, Khordha district; Rajanga, Hindol, Dhenkanal district; Potangi hills, Koraput district and Sorada, Ganjam district. In Andhra Pradesh this species is distributed in Sileru, Visakhapatnam district and Papikonda at Maredumilli, East Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh. Fejervarya kalinga sp. nov. is widely distributed at an elevation range of 600 to 1200 m ASL in the northern Eastern Ghats that stretches from Mahanadi river in the east to Godavari river in the west, which falls in Eastern Highlands biotic provinces (Rodgers et al., 2000). It inhabits moist deciduous to semi-evergreen forest habitats. The species was observed to breed during winter (November to February) season. Breeding takes place at the edges of streams, in open paddy fields and ditches in swampy grass lands of forested areas.</p><p>Comparisons: Fejervarya kalinga sp.nov. is found sympatric with F. orissaensis mostly in the lower altitudes in northern Eastern Ghats. Although, phylogenetically Fejervarya kalinga sp. nov is a member of Western Ghat clade, it can be distinguished from F. orissaensis (Figure 5) in having relatively smaller adult male size of SVL 37.0 to 43.4 mm (n=4) (vs. relatively larger adult male size of SVL 36.2 to 47.2 mm (n=22) in F. orissaensis); larger adult female size of SVL 49.1 to 65.0 mm (n=4) (vs. relatively smaller adult female size of SVL 34.2 to 53.8 mm (n=22) in F.orissaensis); head width sub equal to head length (vs. head longer than wide in F. orissaensis); canthus rostralis angular (vs. canthus rostralis obtuse in F.orissaensis); webbing medium (I 2-1 II 2-2 III 3-3 IV 3-3 V) (vs. webbing extensive (I 1-2 II 1-1 III 1-2 IV 2-1 V) in F. orissaensis); medium to high elevation preference with predominant forested habitat (vs. low elevation preference with predominant human habitation tolerance in F. orissaensis).</p><p>Fejervarya kalinga sp. nov. is geographically disjunct (N 18.18; E 77.95) from its phylogenetic sister species F. keralensis, distributed in the Western Ghats (N 10.26; E 76.80) , and both the localities are separated by 850 km in aerial distance.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E19D2EFF907F4760D1F9353A70FDC5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

It is geographically disjunct (N 14.22) from its phylogenetic sister species, F. gomantaki (N 15.74) with an isolation of 180 km aerially.

Mid dorsal line was found in the female studied and in males of the accession number WII-7005 to WII-7007.</p><p>Etymology: The specific epithet ‘Krishnan’ is named after late Dr K.S. Krishnan (Kozhalmannom Subrammaniasastri Krishnan) for his contribution in the field of biological sciences and being one of the key persons in embarking School in Herpetology sponsored by Department of Science and Technology. The specific name is a noun standing in apposition to the generic name. Suggested common name: ‘Jog Krishnan cricket frog’</p><p>Distribution and natural history: At present Fejervarya krishnan sp. nov. is known only from the type locality, i.e., in Jog fall, Shimoga district, Karnataka falling in 5B biogeographic zone of Western ghats (Rodgers et al., 2000). However, it is assumed that this species could be more widely distributed and additional sampling is required to understand the distribution range limits of the species.</p><p>Comparisons: The other species of Fejervarya reported in the surroundings of the type locality of Fejervarya krishnan sp. nov. are F. modesta (species needs validation), F. mysorensis (no collections after original descriptions), F. caperata and F. granosa . But, Fejervarya krishnan sp. nov. can be easily distinguished from these sympatric congeneric species in having a smaller body size, possession of rictal gland and white upper lip. The other small species of Fejervarya that could be confused due to possession of rictal gland and white upper lip include F. gomantaki, F. sahyadris and F. chilapata . PCA analysis comparing the new species with its phylogenetic sister and the other confusing probable sympatric species suggest a substantial morphological separation between Fejervarya krishnan sp. nov. and others ( F. gomantaki, F. sahyadris and F. chilapata) (Figure 6). PC1 accounted for 55% variance and PC2 accounted for 25% variance.</p><p>Fejervarya krishnan sp. nov. is having second finger shortest (vs. finger I shortest in F. chilapata); dorsum of the body cream brown with number of broken ridges, dark streak from the tip of snout ending at the supra-tympanic fold and limbs with faint cross bands (vs. dorsal parts of head and body greyish beige with light orange mid-dorsal line, dark streak from the tip of snout passing through canthus rostralis and ending in the second half of groin and hind limbs with dark cross bar in F. chilapata).
