Microhyla darreli is only known from the Thiruvananthapuram district in the southern part of the Western Ghats

Microhyla darreli is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae, the narrow-mouthed frogs. It is endemic to the Western Ghats south of the Palghat Gap in southern India.[1][2][3] It is named for Darrel Frost, an American herpetologist, in recognition of the online database Amphibian Species of the World that he maintains.[1] Accordingly, common name Darrel's chorus frog has been coined for this species.[1][2]
