The first comprehensive checklist of amphibians of India was brought out by

Dutta (1997) enlisting 212 species. Das and Dutta (1998) catalogued the common

names of the Indian amphibians and the checklist was updated by Daniels in 2001.

Chanda (2002) published the first handbook on amphibians of India with brief

accounts and distribution maps. In the year 2005 Daniels listed 238 species of

amphibians from India in his book ‘Amphibians of the peninsular India'.

Dinesh et al., (2009) brought out an annotated checklist of amphibians of India

listing 284 species with their synonyms, information on their type locality, type

specimen status and their known distribution. Since then the Check lists of ‘Indian

Amphibians' were periodically updated by Dinesh et al., listing 311 species in 2010,

314 species in 2011, and 342 species in 2012 and 2013. The present checklist is

updated with all the information species names available till January 2015 and

enlists 384 species of amphibians from India, including those listed recently from

Goa (Kulkarni et al., 2013). The nomenclature followed here is after Frost 2014.
