series was collected from rocky surfaces of an open hill stream with small puddles or narrow water channels flowing down the slopes at the time of collection. The specific site is located inside an evergreen forest patch close to the Thavalakuzhipara tribal colony. Animals were sensitive to movement around them and tried to hide in nearby ground vegetation or grasses when approached. A few male individuals were found calling erratically but breeding activity was not observed. Collections were made in the late evening between 18:0020:00 hours.
