Callulops Microtis
''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 ... 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.

George Albert Boulenger
George Albert Boulenger (19 October 1858 – 23 November 1937) was a Belgian-British zoologist who described and gave scientific names to over 2,000 new animal species, chiefly fish, reptiles, and amphibians. Boulenger was also an active botanist during the last 30 years of his life, especially in the study of roses. Life Boulenger was born in Brussels, Belgium, the only son of Gustave Boulenger, a Belgian public notary, and Juliette Piérart, from Valenciennes. He graduated in 1876 from the Free University of Brussels with a degree in natural sciences, and worked for a while at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Brussels, as an assistant naturalist studying amphibians, reptiles, and fishes. He also made frequent visits during this time to the ''Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle'' in Paris and the British Museum in London. In 1880, he was invited to work at the Natural History Museum, then a department of the British Museum, by Dr. Albert C. L. G. Günther a ...

Callulops Sagittatus
''Callulops sagittatus'' is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is found in Papua New Guinea and possibly Indonesia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or dead, thereby ....

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 Misima (formerly called St. Aignan) is a volcanic island in the northwest of Louisiade Archipelago within Milne Bay Province of Papua New Guinea. History Misima Island was inhabited by Austronesians since about 1500 BC. The island was sig ..., 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: m ...

Callulops Personatus
''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. Description ''Callulops personatus'' is a relatively large species, with males reaching a snout–vent length of and females . The head is narrower than the relatively robust body. The snout is truncate. The tympanum is indistinct; the supratympanic fold runs over and behind the tympanum. The finger and the toe tips have grooved terminal discs; no webbing is present. The anterior half of the head is black, contrasting with the reddish brown coloration of the rest of the dorsal surfaces; there are some black dorsal markings that greatly vary in their intensity between individuals. The belly is immaculate white w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
