Lankanectes cf. corrugatus View in CoL

Lankanectes is a monotypic genus. Endemic species commonly found in the wet zone. Our data suggest the Lankanectes sp. observed in Knuckles is distinct from L. corrugatus found elsewhere; a taxonomic study is being carried out to understand its relationship within the genus. Recorded from montane and sub-montane forest habitats and commonly found in rocky-bottomed streams and water holes.
