	nasikabatrachus : a frog as evidence of continental drift?
		It was the first time since 1926, that a discovery had led to the creation of a new family of frogs.
		Those that remained on the Indian subcontinent were the ancestors of Nasikabatrachidae.
		There remains a detail that could be seen as contradicting this hypothesis: genetic analysis shows that the separation of the two families of frogs occurred 130 million years ago, i.e.

	Bizarre burrowing purple frog found / Mysterious creature hails from time of Gondwanaland
		Nasika is Sanskrit for nose; batrachus means frog, and the species name, sahydrensis, refers to the Western Ghats, the hills along India's west coast where the frog lives, Biju explained.
		He concluded that about 100 million years ago, the Nasikabatrachidae family split off from earlier members of the frog lineage.
		News of the frog discovery by Biju and the DNA analysis by Bossuyt are published this week in the journal Nature and are already causing an international stir.

	Frog with a nose - www.smh.com.au (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The purple, small-headed creature with tiny eyes, protruding snout and a bloated appearance belongs to a new family of frogs that scientists thought had either never existed or had disappeared without trace millions of years ago.
		The frog has been named nasikabatrachidae, which is Sanskrit for frog with a nose.
		It represents a deep branch in the evolutionary tree of frogs, and as such merits the establishment of a new family," Franky Bossuyt, an evolutionary biologist at the Free University of Brussels in Belgium, said in an interview.

	Hotspots Revisited
		Amphibian endemism is also impressive at the generic level, with 10 genera (of a total of 29) occurring only here.
		Recently, a new burrowing anuran family, Nasikabatrachidae, closely related to the Sooglossidae from the Seychelles, has been described following its discovery in the Idduki District in Kerala in the Western Ghats (Biju and Bossuyt 2003); this represents the only endemic family.
		About 265 species of reptiles have been recorded, and 175 of these are endemic; one-quarter (22) of all genera represented are endemic, and nine of these are monotypic.

	New species of frog found in India
		WESTERN GHATS, India, Oct. 18 (UPI) -- Purple cows remain elusive, but scientists have discovered a species of purple frog in southern India.
		The bright purple croaker, described as a chubby blob with a pointy snout, is so different from known frogs it has been placed into a new family called Nasikabatrachidae, from Sanskrit and Greek for "nose frog," the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.
		The discovery by S.D. Biju of the Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute of Kerala, India, and Franky Bossuyt of Vrije Universiteit in Brussels, is reported in this week's issue of the journal Nature.

	Animal Planet :: Frog Discovered
		Eventually, Gondwana split up into two landmasses, one comprising Africa and South America, the other comprising Australia, Antarctica and Indo-Madagascar.
		The ancestors of the Nasikabatrachidae and Sooglossidae were on the Indo-Madagascan fragment.
		This, in turn, broke up and drifted apart to form the Indian subcontinent and islands in the Indian Ocean, and the frogs evolved separately according to their habitat, the pair wrote in Thursday's issue of Nature, the British science weekly.
