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.[1][3] 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.[2]
Description
[edit]The type series consists of six males measuring 19–20 mm (0.75–0.79 in) in snout–vent length. Dorsum is yellowish-brownish with some conspicuous black spots. There is a whitish crossbar between the eyes. Some individuals have a broad, whitish vertebral stripe. Belly and throat grey marbled with dark brown. Tympanum is scarcely visible. Fingers have large discs; toes have smaller discs. Both fingers and toes are unwebbed.[2]
Males start calling shortly after dark. The call is a loud rattle, with males responding to each other's calls.[2]
Habitat and conservation
[edit]Natural habitat of Oreophryne clamata is tropical rainforest with patchy, dense undergrowth at elevations of 750–900 m (2,460–2,950 ft) asl. They are hard to find as males are small and typically perch on half-curled leaves 1–3 metres above the ground.[1][2]
Threats to it are unknown, although logging might be a threat. Its range might include the Wondiwoi Nature Reserve.[1]
