Based on the examination of the type series of Cloe tristis Hagen, 1858 (type species of the genus Teloganodes Eaton, 1882) and material housed in several institutions, a revision of Oriental Teloganodidae is proposed. A lectotype is designated for Teloganodes tristis (Hagen, 1858) and the genus is redefined. The species T. major Eaton, 1884, is a subjective junior synonym of T. tristis Hagen, 1858 (syn. nov.). The genus Macafertiella Wang, 1996 is a subjective junior synonym of Teloganodes Eaton, 1882 (syn. nov.). A phylogenetic analysis is performed on all available nymphs. Teloganodes is restricted to Sri Lanka and the Western Ghats of India and encompasses the type species and T. dentatus Navás, 1931, T. insignis (Wang & McCafferty, 1996) (comb. nov.), and the following new species: T. tuberculatus sp. nov. (Sri Lanka), T. kodai sp. nov. (India), T. jacobusi sp. nov. (Sri Lanka) and T. hubbardi sp. nov. (Sri Lanka). The type material of T. dentata is redescribed. Species from Southeast Asia are assigned to two new genera. Dudgeodes gen. nov. includes the type species D. pescadori sp. nov. (Philippines) and D. lugens (Navás, 1933) comb. nov. (China), D. hutanis sp. nov. (Borneo), D. stephani sp. nov. (Borneo), D. ulmeri sp. nov. (Java, Sumatra), and D. celebensis sp. nov. (Sulawesi). The genus Derlethina gen. nov. is established for D. eloisae sp. nov. (Borneo). The egg morphology is presented for the first time for the family Teloganodidae. Affinities within the family and between related families are discussed and a key to distinguish all species known at the larval stage is proposed.

Heterocentron subtriplinervium (Link et Otto) A. Braun et C. D. Bouche, a potential invasive alien species is reported here for the first time for Asia from the Western Ghats of India. The plant is probably introduced deliberately into gardens for ornamental purpose from where it escaped and become naturalised in the Western Ghats. This species is a potential weed, which quickly conquers areas wherever introduced displacing the indigenous flora. A detailed description, illustration, photograph and relevant notes are provided for easy identification in the field.

Canopyana gen. nov. with Canopyana vateriae sp. nov. as type species is described and illustrated. The new species was collected on Vateria indica L. (Dipterocarpaceae) while canopy was being sampled in Karnataka. The new genus is similar to Kutara Distant but differs in differently placed antennal bases, shape of the head and the male genitalia. Bhatia distanti Zhang and Webb previously known only from Sri Lanka is recorded for the first time from Western Ghats of India.

The volatile chemical profiles of 8 wild Cinnamomum species ( C. dubium Nees, C. litseifolium Thwaites, C. mohanense Gangapr. et al., C. palghatensis Gangop., C. riparium Gamble, C. travancoricum Gamble, C. walaiwarense Kosterm. and C. wightii Meissn.) and two chemotypes ( C. agasthyamalayanum Robi et al. and C. keralaense Kosterm.) from the Western Ghats, south India were reported for the first time. A total of 112 constituents belonging to monoterpenoid, sesquiterpenoid and phenyl propanoid classes were identified from the leaf essential oils by GC-FID and GC-MS analytical methods. Monoterpenoids and sesquiterpenoids were the major class of volatile compounds distributed in most of the Cinnamomum species studied. The study lead to the identification of natural sources of aroma compounds such as 1,8-cineole ( C. mohanense), 1,4-cineole ( C. wightii), safrole ( C. walaiwarense) and benzyl benzoate ( C. keralaense). Two new chemotypes of Cinnamomum species viz; C. agasthyamalayanum phellandrene-eugenol type and C. keralaense benzyl benzoate type were also discovered from the Western Ghats. The interrelationships between the studied species were discussed based on the volatile chemical profiles.

Abstract: The Resplendent Shrub Frog, Raorchestes resplendens Biju, Shouche, Dubois, Dutta, & Bossuyt, 2010 is a Critically Endangered species endemic to the Western Ghats and was considered to be restricted to a three-square kilometer patch atop Anamudi summit.  In this study, we report 36 new locations of the species from the Anamalai massif of the southern Western Ghats.  Niche-based prediction modelling suggests that the species is restricted to Anamalai massif.  The call description of this frog is also provided for the first time. The preferred microhabitat of the frog is Chrysopogon grass clumps in the marshy/swampy montane grassland ecosystem. Restricted to a small area with controlled burning management practiced in its habitat, R. resplendens needs immediate attention.
