Callulops
''Callulops'' is a genus of microhylid frogs from Sulawesi as well as the New Guinea region, from Talaud Islands and the Maluku Islands (Moluccas) in the northwest to the Louisiade Archipelago The Louisiade Archipelago is a string of ten larger volcanic islands frequently fringed by coral reefs, and 90 smaller coral islands in Papua New Guinea. It is located 200 km southeast of New Guinea, stretching over more than and spread o ... in the east. They are medium- to large-sized terrestrial frogs inhabiting burrows on the forest floor, often under large rocks. Because their population densities can be low, and they are difficult to observe and collect owing to their lifestyle, many species are known only from few specimens.

Callulops Robustus
''Callulops robustus'' (commonly known as Boulenger's callulops frog or robust frog) 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''. Description ''Callulops robustus'' are moderately large frogs: males grow to a snout–vent length of and females to . Snout is long. Adults are reddish-brown or grey brown above. Chin, chest, and under limbs are dark purple brown. Colouration in juveniles is quite different: with black head and limbs, brick-red dors ...

Callulops Fojaensis
''Callulops fojaensis'' is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is only known from the Foja mountains in West Papua (Indonesia). Description ''Callulops fojaensis'' is known from the type series In biology, a type is a particular specimen (or in some cases a group of specimens) of an organism to which the scientific name of that organism is formally associated. In other words, a type is an example that serves to anchor or centralizes t ... consisting of two male specimens measuring in snout–vent length. Body is robust and pear-shaped, with wide head that is not distinct from the body. Limbs are short and robust. Iris is dark reddish brown. Tympanum is barely visible. Overall colouration is uniformly pale brown. Dorsal and lateral surfaces of head are slightly darker than dorsal and lateral surfaces of torso. Exposed surfaces of limbs are moderately pale brown, with forelimbs slightly darker than hind limbs and torso. Venter is very pale with faint brown mott ...

Callulops Mediodiscus
''Callulops mediodiscus'' is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is only known from the type locality in the upper Kikori Basin in the Southern Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea. The specific name refers to its most distinctive feature, the moderately enlarged discs on fingers and toes, although their function remains unknown as the specimens were collected on or near the ground. Description ''Callulops mediodiscus'' is only known from the all-male type series. Specimens measure in snout–vent length. Body is moderately slender and somewhat pear-shaped, with wide head that is not distinct from the body. Limbs are long and moderately robust, and fingers and toes bear moderately enlarged discs. Overall colouration is light yellowish-brown, with noticeably darker head. Lateral surfaces are more strongly yellow-tinged than dorsum. Exposed surfaces of forelimbs are yellowish-brown proximally and becoming medium brown distally. Exposed surfaces of hindlimbs are relat ...

Callulops Doriae
''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. Etymology The specific name ''doriae'' honours Giacomo Doria, an Italian zoologist. Description ''Callulops doriae'' are relatively large frogs that can reach in snout–vent length. The dorsal surfaces are verrucous, light brown, and have numerous blackish spots, each bearing a central white cap. Habitat and conservation This species lives on the forest floor in rainforests at elevations up to above sea level Height above mean sea level is a measure of a location's vertical distance (height, elevation or altitude) in reference to a vertical datum based on a historic mean sea level. In geodesy, it is formalized as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
