Callulops kopsteini is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. The species is endemic to Sanana Island, Indonesia. [1] [2]

Contents

Etymology

The specific name kopsteini honours Felix Kopstein, Austrian physician and naturalist who collected the type series in 1924. [3] [4] The common name Kopstein's callulops frog has been coined for this species. [2] [4]

Description

The type series of C. kopsteini consists of two adult males measuring in snout-to-vent length (SVL) 41–42 mm (1.6–1.7 in) and an adult female measuring 45 mm (1.8 in) SVL. The overall appearance is stocky. The head is somewhat wider than it is long. The snout is rounded but slightly protruding. The tympanum is distinct. The finger and toe tips bear small discs; webbing is absent. The skin is smooth. The upper parts are dark brown. There are two eye spots; other markings are vague. The underside is dirty gray-brown, with diffuse, light gray spots. [3]

Habitat and conservation

C. kopsteini has not been recorded after it was first collected (i.e., 1924 [3] ). It presumably occurs in lowland forest. Development is assumed to be direct [1] (i.e., there is no free-living larval stage [5] ).

This species is likely to be threatened by extensive logging taking place on Sanana Island. However, there is no recent information on its status. [1]

Dendropsophus bogerti is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to the Andes of Colombia and occurs in the Cordillera Central in Antioquia, Caldas, and Chocó Departments. The specific name bogerti honors Charles Mitchill Bogert, an American herpetologist. Soon after its description in 1970, it was relegated to synonymy of Dendropsophus carnifex, but its species status was restored in 1997.

Plectrohyla hartwegi is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is found in the Sierra Madre de Chiapas and eastern Oaxaca in Mexico, Sierra de los Cuchumatanes in western Guatemala as well as Sierra de las Minas in eastern Guatemala, and Sierra de Omoa in southwestern Honduras. It might be a composite of two or more species.

Scinax castroviejoi is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is found in valleys of the Eastern Andes in southern Bolivia, and controversially, in northern Argentina. Its type locality is Laguna de Bermejo. It is similar to Scinax fuscovarius but differs in call characteristics. The specific name castroviejoi honors Javier Castroviejo Bolívar, a Spanish zoologist.

Pristimantis serendipitus is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is found in the Andes of northern Peru and adjacent southern Ecuador. The specific name refers to serendipitous discovery of this species: collection at the type locality was only made because the road was closed by an accident. Common name Colan Mountains robber frog has been proposed for this species.

Pristimantis tribulosus is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to Colombia and is only known from the vicinity of its type locality near Samaná in the Caldas Department, on the eastern slope of the Cordillera Central. The specific name tribulosus, meaning "thorny", refers to the numerous tubercles that cover the upper surfaces of this species.

Craugastor vulcani is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is endemic to the Sierra de los Tuxtlas range in southern Veracruz state, Mexico. Its name refers to its type locality on the San Martin Tuxtla volcano. Common name Volcan San Martin rainfrog has been proposed for it.

The Williamson's marsupial frog is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. It is endemic to north-central coastal Venezuela and only known from its type locality, San Esteban in the state of Carabobo. It is a poorly known species that has not been collected since it was first described, based on a single specimen collected in 1920.

Austrochaperina kosarek is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to New Guinea and only known from its type locality, Kosarek, in West Papua (Indonesia). It is only known from one specimen collected in 1979. It has not been well-studied but it might be widespread in suitable habitat.

Callulops boettgeri, also known as Boettger's Callulops frog, is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Halmahera in the Maluku Islands of Indonesia. It is only known from the holotype collected from Galela in 1894. The genus-level placement of this little known frog has changed many times, and it is still unclear whether it should be placed in some other genus.

Callulops doriae is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea and occurs in the eastern mainland Papua New Guinea and in Tagula Island, Louisiade Archipelago. It is the type species of the genus Callulops erected by George Albert Boulenger in 1888. Common name Doria's callulops frog has been coined for this species.

<i>Callulops personatus</i> Species of frog

Callulops personatus is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to the northern lowlands of central New Guinea and occurs in both Western New Guinea (Indonesia) and Papua New Guinea. The specific name personatus is Latin adjective meaning "masked", in reference to the head coloration. Common name Maprik callulops frog has been proposed for it.

<i>Callulops robustus</i> Species of amphibian

Callulops robustus is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It has traditionally been considered as wide-ranging species found in both Western New Guinea (Indonesia) and Papua New Guinea. However, it is likely that specimens from the type locality, Misima Island, and New Guinea represent different species. If so, name Callulops robustus belongs to the Misima Island species, and the mainland species is unnamed. Other island populations may or may not belong to Callulops robustus. Callulops microtis from the mainland has already been removed from synonymy with Callulops robustus.

Callulops stictogaster is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to New Guinea and occurs in the central mountain ranges of Papua New Guinea in the Western Highlands, Eastern Highlands, Chimbu, and Morobe Provinces. The specific name stictogaster is derived from the Greek stictos (="spotted") and gaster (="belly"). Common name Irumbofoie callulops frog has been proposed for it.
