Nanorana gammii (Anderson, 1871)
Rana Gammii Anderson, 1871, J. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, 40: 21. Syntypes: ZSIC 9172-73 according to Sclater, 1892, List Batr. Indian Mus.: 3; given as ZSIC 9664-67 by Chanda, Das, and Dubois, 2001 "2000", Hamadryad, 25: 109, although this seemingly does not include Annandale's lectotype; ZSIC 9173 designated lectotype by Annandale, 1917, Mem. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, 6: 119-155. Subsequently, Dubois, Ohler, and Pyron, 2021, Megataxa, 5: 239–240, gave reasons for designating ZSI 9667 as lectotype. Type locality: "Darjeeling, 4000 feet", India.

Comment
Removed from the synonymy of Nanorana annandalii by Ohler and Dubois, 2006, Zoosystema, 28: 769-784, where it had been placed by Dubois, 1975, Bull. Mus. Natl. Hist. Nat. Paris, Ser. 3, Zool., 324: 1099. See account (as Rana gammiei) by Boulenger, 1920, Rec. Indian Mus., 20: 76. Recent accounts for Nanorana annandalii from India likely apply to this species according to XXX. Not addressed, and therefore not assigned to subgenus, by Che, Zhou, Hu, Papenfuss, Wake, and Zhang, 2010, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 107: 13765-13770, and Che, Zhou, Hu, Papenfuss, Wake, and Zhang, 2010, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, Suppl. Inform., doi:10.1073/pnas.1008415107/-/DCSupplemental: 2. See Subba, Aravind, and Ravikanth, 2016, Check List, 13(1: 2033): 6, for Sikkim, India, records.
