Species of frog
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.[1][2] It is the type species of the genus Callulops erected by George Albert Boulenger in 1888.[3] Common name Doria’s callulops frog has been coined for this species.[2][4]
The specific name doriae honours Giacomo Doria, an Italian zoologist.[4]
Callulops doriae are relatively large frogs that can reach 100 mm (3.9 in) in snout–vent length. The dorsal surfaces are verrucous, light brown, and have numerous blackish spots, each bearing a central white cap.[3][5]
Habitat and conservation
[edit]
This species lives on the forest floor in rainforests at elevations up to 1,520Â m (4,990Â ft) above sea level. Males call from low trees and rock crevices. Development is probably direct, without a free-living larval stage.[1]
Callulops doriae is a widespread but uncommon species. No major threats to it have been identified. It occurs in a few protected areas.[1]
