Bufoides kempi (Boulenger, 1919) known only from the two historical syntype specimens until now was rediscovered after more than a century from near its type locality in the Garo Hills, Meghalaya, northeastern India. Analysis of mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene reveals congenericity between B. kempi and B. meghalayanus with an inter-specific genetic divergence of 4.67%. Description of B. kempi is expanded based on the six male and two female specimens collected during this study. We provide the first description of calls for this genus, notes on their breeding biology and larval morphology. Additional specimens of B. meghalayanus collected during this study are described to supplement its characterization.

The selenopid genus Siamspinops Dankittipakul & Corronca, 2009 is recorded for the first time from India. Siamspinops garoensis Kadam, Tripathi & Sankaran, 2022 sp. nov., based on male and female specimens, is described and illustrated in detail. The unknown female of Makdiops shevaroyensis (Gravely, 1931) is described and illustrated for the first time, and a catalogue and distribution maps of the Indian selenopid species are provided.
