Minervarya brevipalmata, commonly known as short-webbed frog, Peters' frog, and Pegu wart frog, is a species of frog found in the Western Ghats of southern India (Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala states). M. brevipalmata is a little-known and uncommon grassland frog associated with waterlogged or marshy areas, but it has also been recorded from suitable wet patches of forest and lightly degraded former forest.
