Indirana brachytarsus is a species of frog found in the Western Ghats (including the Anaimalai Hills) of India.

This frog has been observed near the edges of the forest but not in fully open areas.

[1] The IUCN classifies this frog as least concern of extinction, but it is in some danger from deforestation associated with agriculture, dam construction, and other infrastructure.

Because the frog lives at high elevations, it cannot readily migrate to cooler habitats.

[1] Scientists have observed the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis on this frog, but they do not know its specific morbidity or mortality.
