The frog was described from the Biligirirangan Hills in South India and is named after the Soliga tribal people living in the forests in and around these hills. The holotype is lodged with the Zoological Survey of India and was collected on the streambed of Bhargavi stream near Doddasampige (12° 27' N, 76° 11'E) at Biligirirangan Hills. Four paratypes were collected near the campus of Vivekananda Girijana Kalyana Kendra in the same hills[3]
