Trematode parasites or flatworm that can cause severe deformities in frog such as extra limbs or twisted limbs in developing tissues and disrupting cell growth, result in declining frog population and raising awareness about environmental degradation. Deformed frog has highlighted potential environmental issues, as the prevalence of these parasites can signal broader ecological problems. A decline in the frog population has a domino effect on the ecosystem, disrupting the food web , increasing insect borne diseases, causing wider environmental instability. Frog play central component in food chain and play prey and predators. The flat under discussion deals with description of species of genus Diplodiscus (Diesing1836) from Rana cyanophlyctis As a type species. The present form agrees all the characters of the genus Diplodiscus.
