Abstract
Duttaphrynus hololius (Günther, 1876), a rarely-sighted, endemic toad species known only from a few documented specimens was re-sighted in Devarabetta, Krishnagiri dt., Eastern Ghats hill range, Tamil Nadu state, southern India. Data from our four live, uncollected conspecifics are provided to update and expand the external morphological characterization of this species. In-life colouration and baseline ecological data are provided herein for the first time. Possible extent of distribution of this species and some issues regarding its sighting records in the past are also discussed.
Keywords. In-life colouration, expanded characterization, natural history, distribution.
