Abstract:
In total twenty three adult specimens of Euphlyctis cyanophlyctis (Schneider, 1799) (Anura: Ranidae) were collected from three different but adjoining areas of District Jamshoro viz., village Sain Dino Mallah, K.B. Feeder canal and village Faiz Mohammad. The collected specimens were identified using authentic literature and variations were determined by international taxonomic characteristics. E. cyanophlyctis collected from the adjacent areas were observed to be morphologically variable from each other. The most important variable characters were dorsal body color, body length and body weight. This species is being reported for the first time from the studied area.
