<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:14px;">We report the discovery of the Sikkim Frog, <em>Ombrana sikimensis</em> from Central Bhutan’s Zhemgang district, in the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan. The frog which is found residing in a clean perennial stream is used by the local for consumption. It is supposed to heal stomach related ailments in human beings. This record will help Bhutan understand the use of the species and help in prioritizing conservation and the importance of the species.</span></span></div>
