Abstract

The external and buccopharyngeal morphologies of tadpoles belonging to six anurans (Duttaphrynus melanostictus, Minervarya agricola, Nyctibatrachus periyar, Rhacophorus malabaricus, R. lateralis, & Polypedates pseudocruciger) from Wayanad and Vagamon hills, in Western Ghats are here-in described. Characterizations of larvae are illustrated by detailed images along with morphometric measurements. Four of the larval descriptions (M. agricola, N. periyar, R. lateralis, & P. pseudocruciger) are previously unknown, while two (D. melanostictus & R. malabaricus) are re-descriptions with additional information. Comparisons with congeners of the respective genera are made. This study is a small step towards advancing our knowledge of anuran larvae and supporting future research form Western Ghats and the adjacent regions.

印度西高止山脉 Wayanad 和 Vagamon 山中一些无尾目动物（Duttaphrynus、Minervarya、Nyctibatrachus、Rhacophorus 和 Polypedates）（两栖类）的幼虫描述和口腔超微结构

本文描述了西高止山脉Wayanad和Vagamon山区六种无尾类（Duttaphrynus melanostictus、Minervarya agricola、Nyctibatrachus periyar、Rhacophorus malabaricus、R. lateralis和Polypedates pseudocruciger）蝌蚪的外部和颊咽形态。幼虫的特征通过详细的图像和形态测量进行了说明。其中四种幼虫（M. agricola、N. periyar、R. lateralis 和 P. pseudocruciger）以前不为人知，而两种幼虫（D. melanostictus 和 R. malabaricus）是重新描述的，并提供了更多信息。研究还将其与各自属中的同系物进行了比较。这项研究为增进我们对无尾类幼虫的了解迈出了一小步，并为未来西高止山脉及邻近地区的研究提供了支持。
