etymology · Plazi

Etymology. The species is named after the ‘metallic yellow’ colour of the iris (Latin: flavin = yellow; oculus = eye). Natural history and distribution. A sub-canopy lineage ( 325 cm , n=2), it is difficult to locate due to its ventriloquistic call and occurrence in the sub-canopy. Like other members of the Ochlandrae clade, it was also heard calling from Ochlandra grass patches. However, the two individuals whose descriptions are given were obtained from a highly disturbed forest fragment, on leaves of short trees (< 5 m ). Calls were also recorded from high in the canopy. Considering the strong association of Ochlandrae clade lineages with Ochlandra reeds, further observations are needed to verify the habitat association of this new lineage. It is a species of high elevations ( 1459–1569 m , n =10), and restricted in distribution to the Upper Manalar Plateau, Megamalai Massif ( Fig 1 & 2 ) in the southern Western Ghats. Based on our call recordings in the adjoining Anaimalai Massif ( Fig 1 ), we anticipate a related lineage or an isolated population.
