specimens examined: CMDN-A 17, 61, 68 – 70, 82.
Distribution in the KTM Valley: Encountered at Godawari, Nagarkot, and Lalitpur. Pokhrel et al. (2011) and Aryal et al. (2013) reported this species from the whole KTM Valley, suggesting that it is widely distributed. Remarks: We encountered this species at three disturbed or urban localities, which is commonly the habitat used by species of this genus ( Grosjean 2011). The first locality was in a livestock pasture, where large numbers of large-bodied larvae were present ( Figures 2 View Figure 2 (f) and 4(d)). At the second locality one adult was observed in grass near a large wetland in an urban area ( Figure 2 View Figure 2 (g)). At the third locality an adult was observed in thick grass near a large pond ( Figure 1 View Figure 1 ; Figure 2 View Figure 2 (h)). Although past authors (e.g. Anders 2002) classified all Fejervarya from KTM as F. syhadrensis , sympatry and cryptic species in this genus are common, and further molecular work would help to confirm the species identity of all Fejervarya in KTM ( Kotaki et al. 2009; Grosjean 2011).
