Ramanella is a genus of microhylid frogs from southeastern India and Sri Lanka.[2] Frogs in this genus are small and characteristically have discs on their fingers but lack them on the toes.
The three Indian species are identifiable as follows: Ramanella variegata has an immaculate white belly while montana and triangularis are marbled or brown below. R. triangularis has unwebbed toes while montana has the toes webbed.[3]
