| Summary: | This study provides the first report of Leptobrachium bompu Sondhi & Ohler, 2011 from Bhutan. The species was recorded from Simkhar watershed in Jigmecholing under Sarpang District, at an elevation of 1,610m. Simkhar Stream is small and perennial, shaded and swampy, with a few moss-laden flat stones along the course, and is pollution-free and slow-flowing. The current report extends the distribution record of L. bompu towards the east and will help in understanding the range and conservation status of the species. |
