The torrent-dwelling frog genus Amolops is represented by 13 species in India, including type localities for 11 species. Based on recent field surveys and subsequent phylogenetic studies of specimens collected, we confirm the presence of A. aniqiaoensis Dong, Rao, and Lü 2005, which was described from Aniqiao, Xizang, China, in India. We also report a range extension of a recently described species, A. adicola Patel, Garg, Das, Stuart, and Biju 2021, with a further note on A. indoburmanensis Dever, Fuiten, Konu, and Wilkinson 2012.
