It is also known as the &#039;&#039;&#039;Mawblang toad&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;rock toad&#039;&#039;&#039;, or &#039;&#039;&#039;Khasi Hills toad&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;ref name=Frost/&gt; It is [[endemic]] to northeastern India&lt;ref name=IUCN/&gt;&lt;ref name=Frost/&gt; where it is known from [[Meghalaya]] and [[Mizoram]]. However, records from Mizoram may represent an undescribed species, and this species might have a very restricted range in the [[Khasi Hills]] near [[Cherrapunji]].&lt;ref name=IUCN/&gt;<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;Bufoides meghalayanus&#039;&#039; occur in montane forests dominated by screw pines &#039;&#039;[[Pandanus furcatus]]&#039;&#039;. They can be found in crevices of sandstone boulders and in rocky ravines near wet seasonal streams at elevations of {{convert|1084|–|1192|m|abbr=on}} [[above sea level]]. Breeding takes place in leaf axils of screw pines and in boulder pot-holes.&lt;ref name=IUCN/&gt;<br /> <br /> This species is threatened by rock quarrying and use of forest resources (logging and extraction of firewood and timber). The populations representing the undescribed form occur in [[Ngengpui Wildlife Sanctuary]] and [[Dampa Tiger Reserve]].&lt;ref name=IUCN/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist|30em|refs=<br /> &lt;ref name=Frost&gt;{{cite web |url=http://research.amnh.org/vz/herpetology/amphibia/index.php//Amphibia/Anura/Bufonidae/Bufoides/Bufoides-meghalayanus |title=&#039;&#039;Bufoides meghalayanus&#039;&#039; (Yazdani and Chanda, 1971) |author=Frost, Darrel R. |year=2018 |work=Amphibian Species of the World: an Online Reference.
