<paragraph pageId="0" pageNumber="5825">Geographical distribution of a species is an important parameter in conservation biology. However, the Wallacean shortfall is evident in the Western Ghats as the exact distribution of many amphibian species in this region is poorly known. The data provided here on the distributional status of one of the critically endangered frog species of Western Ghats illuminating the use of molecular tools for delineating species boundaries effectively. The results may be helpful in designing further studies on biogeography and ecology and provide valuable insights for the conservation status of this species.</paragraph>
