摘要：The genus Leptobrachium Tschudi, 1838 is currently represented by 32 species all over the world distributed throughout mainland and insular Asia with two species so far from India. Leptobrachium smithi is known from Rani-Gharbhanga Landscape, Borduar-Mayang Landscape, Barail Range and Barak Valley all from south of River Brahmaputra. We herein report additional distribution records of Leptobrachium smithi from Ultapani Re- serve Forest, Shankarghala and Mathanguri of Manas National Park on the north bank of the River Brahmaputra. The report from Ultapani, Shankarghala and Mathanguri is an extension of range of species by around 100 to 176 km north. Mineralogic and stratigraphic data of Brahmaputra basin indicates that the Brahmaputra River has changed position several times during the Holocene. The presence of the species on the north bank across the river barrier may be attributed to the positional changes of the river and due to lateral shifting of the river
