Walkerana muduga, also known as the Muduga mountain leaping frog[2][3][a] or Muduga leaping frog,[4] is a species of frog in the family Ranixalidae.[2][3] It is endemic to the Western Ghats of India and known from the Elivai Malai range, north of the Palghat Gap in Tamil Nadu.[3] All other known species of Walkerana occur south of the Palghat Gap, and molecular data suggest that Walkerana muduga is deeply divergent from the more southern species. However, there is another, as yet undescribed lineage from north of the Palghat Gap that is known from a single, poorly preserve specimen.[2][1]
