Abstract

We report the discovery of the Anderson's Bubble-nest Frog, Raorchestes andersoni from Central Bhutan’s Zhemgang district, in the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan. The frog was found in moist dense forests with lots of green bushes. This record will help Bhutan understand its species diversity and help in prioritizing conservation actions for this species and other batrachian fauna.
