Abstract
The occurrence of the hormurid scorpion Liocheles australasiae (Fabricius) is reported for the first time from the state of Mizoram, northeast India. The specimens were identified on the basis of morphological characters and molecular analysis using a fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit I gene. The species is reported from multiple localities within the state, constituting at least seven different populations. The specimens were larger than those from previous records.

Abstract
Based on a collection of Kurixalus specimens collected from different localities in Mizoram State, we report the occurrence of Kurixalus yangi from the State. Species identification was confirmed based on morphology and molecular data (mitochondrial 16S rRNA marker gene sequence). In addition, we confirm the previous record of Kurixalus naso from the same region to be erroneous as it is in fact K. yangi. Herein, we reassess the systematic status of this montane population of Kurixalus from Northeast India and provide evidence for its distinction from Kurixalus naso sensu stricto, thereby reporting K. yangi as an addition to the amphibian fauna of Mizoram. This record represents the southernmost distribution of the species.

Abstract
We report Calotes geissleri from Chandel district in Manipur, India. Till recently allocated to Calotes mystaceus, this complex was revised and C. geissleri described from northeast India and Myanmar. We here report its occurrence in Chandel district, Manipur, adjacent to other northeastern states from where it was known previously. Our Manipur specimens have 0.003% genetic distance from its published type sequences, thereby confirming the identification and the range extension.
