Oreophryne kapisa is only known from Biak and Supiori Islands, Indonesia |
Oreophryne kapisa is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to the Indonesian islands Biak and Supiori, northwest of New Guinea. Common name Kapisa's cross frog has been proposed for it. [1] [2]
Oreophryne kapisa occurs in swamps, cultivated areas with fairly dry conditions, and remote tropical forests. Animals have been collected perching in vegetation some 0.5 to 7 m (2 to 23 ft) above the ground. [1] It presumably has direct development (i.e., there is no free-living larval stage [3] ), like other Oreophryne. [1]
Oreophryne kapisa is assumed to be a common species within its small range. It also appears to tolerate some habitat modification, and is therefore not considered threatened. [1]
Oreophrynella quelchii, commonly known as the Roraima black frog or Roraima bush toad, is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. This species is restricted to the transboundary summit of Mount Roraima in Venezuela, Guyana and Brazil, and to the nearby Wei-Assipu-tepui on the Brazil–Guyana border. It has been recorded at elevations of 2,300–2,800 m (7,500–9,200 ft) above sea level.
Oreophryne albopunctata is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to West Papua, Indonesia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
Oreophryne alticola is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to West Papua, Indonesia, and only known from the vicinity of its type locality on the New Guinea Highlands. Its natural habitat is subalpine grassland at elevations of 3,500–3,900 m (11,500–12,800 ft) asl. No significant threats to it are known.
Oreophryne anulata is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to the Philippines and is known from Mindanao, Biliran, Siargao, and Leyte; it probably occurs in some smaller, intervening islands too. Common names Mindanao cross frog and Davao cross frog have been proposed for it; the latter in apparent reference to its type locality, "Davao", even though it probably is in error.
Oreophryne atrigularis is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Western New Guinea (Indonesia) and known from its type locality, the Wondiwoi Mountains at the base of the Wandammen Peninsula, and from another location further east between Nabire and Mapia.
Oreophryne biroi is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to New Guinea and occurs on the north coast from Madang Province in Papua New Guinea to the Cyclops Mountains in Papua province, Western New Guinea (Indonesia). The specific name biroi honours Lajos Bíró, a Hungarian zoologist and ethnographer who collected the holotype. Common name New Guinea cross frog has been coined for it.
Oreophryne brachypus is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to the island of New Britain, in the Bismarck Archipelago of Papua New Guinea. Common name Gazelle cross frog has been coined for it.
Oreophryne celebensis is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to northern Sulawesi, Indonesia. Common name Celebes cross frog has been coined for it.
Oreophryne clamata is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to West Papua, Indonesia, and known from the Wondiwoi Mountains at the base of the Wandammen Peninsula, Papua province. The specific name clamata, meaning "makes a loud noise", refers to its striking advertisement call. Common name noisy cross frog has been proposed for this species.
Oreophryne geislerorum is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea where it is known from the northern coast between the tip of the Huon Peninsula and south and east to Kokoda and Popondetta. The specific name geislerorum honours two German taxidermists, Bruno Geisler and his brother Herbert Geisler.
Oreophryne hypsiops is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to northern Papua New Guinea and is known the Adelbert Range westward, including the adjacent coastal areas, to the Schrader Range and further to Lumi in the West Sepik Province. Prior to its description, it was mixed with Oreophryne biroi.
Oreophryne minuta is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Papua, Western New Guinea, and only known from its type locality in the Derewo River basin, in the mountains to the southeast of Cenderawasih Bay. It is a very small frog, and at the time of species description, the smallest Oreophryne species.
Aphantophryne nana is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to the Philippines and is known with certainty only from the island of Camiguin. It is unclear whether similar frogs from northeast Mindanao are referable to this species. It was described as Oreophryne nana, but based on molecular data it was moved to Aphantophryne in 2017. Common names Camiguin cross frog, Camiguin narrow-mouthed frog, and volcano cross frog have been coined for the species.
Oreophryne notata is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea and known from two localities, Ialibu, its type locality in the Southern Highlands Province, and Tabubil in the Western Province. It might occur more widely. The specific name notata is from Latin nota meaning a "mark" or "letter" and refers to the diagnostic U-like pattern on the lores.
Oreophryne rookmaakeri is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to the island of Flores, Indonesia. The specific name rookmaakeri honours Hendrik Roelof Rookmaaker, a Dutch colonial administrator who was resident on Flores. Common name Flores cross frog has been coined for this species.
Oreophryne sibilans is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to West Papua, Indonesia. It is known from east of the main ridge of the Wondiwoi Mountains at the base of the Wandammen Peninsula, in the Papua province. Similar frogs have been collected from the Yapen island and the Fakfak Mountains, but it remains to be ascertained that these represent the same species. The specific name sibilans refers to the whistling advertisement call of the species.
Oreophryne unicolor is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to West Papua, Indonesia, and known from the Wondiwoi Mountains at the base of the Wandammen Peninsula, Papua province. Frogs with similar call have been observed in the Fakfak Mountains, but it remains to be ascertained that these represent the same species. The specific name unicolor refers to the uniformly coloured dorsal side of the body.
Oreophryne wapoga is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Western New Guinea (Indonesia) and is known from its type locality, the headwaters of the Wapoga River, and from the island of Papua (province), both in the Papua province. The Yapen population might represent a separate species.
Oreophryne wolterstorffi is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea and only known from a single specimen collected from "Deutsch-Neu-Guinea", in what now is Madang Province. Common name Wolterstorff's cross frog has been coined for it.
Oreophryne zimmeri is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae, although there is doubt whether it really is an Oreophryne. It is endemic to Sulawesi (Indonesia) and known from its type locality in the Mengkoka Mountains, southeastern Sulawesi, and from another record from South Sulawesi. The specific name zimmeri honours Carl Wilhelm Erich Zimmer, a German zoologist. Common name Zimmer's cross frog has been proposed for it.
