Abstract
The genus Leptolalax Dubois, 1980 is for the first time reported from India. The nomen Ixalus lateralis Anderson 1871, created for a specimen from an unknown type locality, probably in North-East India, is applied to this species. A neotype is designated to stabilize the taxonomic status of this nomen and to fix a precise type locality.References
