The shift in generic allocation of some of the species is based on molecular studies and is only of implication under the Indian context.

IUCN Redlist Global Status: According to the IUCN Red list of threatened species, the global status of Indian is 23.68% Data deficient; 21.93% Not Evaluated 30.12% Least concern; 2.63% Near Threatened; 7.02% Vulnerable; 9.36% Endangered; ; 4.97% Critically endangered and 0.29% Extinct. Out of the 342 species of known Amphibians from India, 75 species are yet to be evaluated and 81 species are still under the data deficient category. Specifically, for species of in IUCN Redlist most of the species are either overestimated or underestimated in terms of assigning the Redlist Status. To cite a few examples here, species like Pedostibes tuberculosus is considered as ‘Endangered’ in spite of its known distribution for more than 1000 kms with localized abundant populations and Raorchestes travancoricus is considered as ‘Extinct’ in spite of its occurrence in Anamalai hill ranges. Hence, most of the amphibian species needs to be re-evaluated with an elaborative, systematic and co-ordinated field work based studies to know their proper Redlist position.
