Indirana longicrus is a species of frog found in the Western Ghats of India. It is only known from its type locality, Kempholey, Karnataka.[2]

The habitat preferences of this species are not known, although it is possibly a forest species that presumably breeds like other members of the genus, with larvae being found on wet rocks next to streams.[1]

Major threats

The area where it was collected, and might possibly still occur, is threatened by clearance for agricultural use.[1]
