Monday, 1st June, 2026 (Nokinketer News): A team of researchers has discovered a new species of cascade-dwelling frog in Nagaland, shedding light on the rich but largely unexplored biodiversity of India’s northeast region.

Officials said the newly identified species belongs to the genus Amolops, a group of stream-dwelling frogs typically found in fast-flowing hill streams across Asia. The discovery was made by researchers from the Zoological Survey of India and collaborating institutions during field surveys in Nagaland.

Lead author Bhaskar Saikia said the species has been named in honor of the late Dr. Kamal Choudhury, a zoologist and his former mentor. The frog was found in Singrep village in Nagaland’s Kiphire district during surveys conducted in August 2024.
