Nyctibatrachidae is a small family of frogs found in the Western Ghats of India and in Sri Lanka.[1] Their common name is robust frogs.[2] Recognition of Nyctibatrachidae as a family is fairly recent. These frogs were previously placed in the broadly defined family Ranidae, which was more recently divided into three subfamilies: Lankanectinae, Nyctibatrachinae, and Astrobatrachinae.[3][4]
