Rohan's Globular Frog

Rohan's globular frog is endemic to Sri Lanka and is named after Rohan Pethiyagoda, known for his work on Sri Lankan fishes and amphibians. It was separated in 2018 from Uperodon variegatus, from which it differs genetically by about 2.8%. Males are 26 to 34 mm and females 28 to 35 mm. It is maroon with slightly paler olive-yellow spots, blotches and streaks, with densely packed olive speckles near the belly and thigh (Wikipedia, general species account).

It is found throughout Sri Lanka, most abundantly in the lowlands, in ponds, puddles, reservoirs, paddy fields and moist spots inside buildings such as bathrooms. The 2012 National Red List predates the split and has Ramanella variegata as Nationally Least Concern, without a separate entry for this species.
