Minervarya is a genus of frogs in the Dicroglossidae family endemic to India. Some authors argue that it is a synonym of Fejervarya because generic recognition of Minervarya may render Fejervarya paraphyletic.[1]
Species
The following two species are included in Minervarya:[1]
- Minervarya chilapata Ohler, Deuti, Grosjean, Paul, Ayyaswamy, Ahmed, and Dutta, 2009
- Minervarya sahyadris Dubois, Ohler, and Biju, 2001
Fejervarya gomantaki (Dinesh, et al. 2015) is most closely related to Minervarya sahyadris.
