Cornufer Cheesmanae
''Cornufer cheesmanae'' is a species of frog in the family Ceratobatrachidae. It is endemic to New Guinea and found in the Cyclops Mountains ( Papua, Indonesia) and Bewani Mountains (Papua New Guinea). The specific name ''cheesmanae'' honors Lucy Evelyn Cheesman, an English entomologist, explorer, and curator at London Zoo. Common name Cheesman's wrinkled ground frog has been coined for it. Description ''Cornufer cheesmanae'' is the smallest species of its genus in New Guinea: adult males can grow to and adult females to in snout–vent length. It is morphologically similar to '' Cornufer wuenscheorum'', but is even smaller. The first finger is shorter than second one. The inner metatarsal tubercle is relatively shorter in ''Cornufer cheesmanae''. The male advertisement call consists of a single note, instead of double notes as in ''Cornufer wuenscheorum''. The dominant frequency is about 3300 Hz. Call series can last tens of seconds, during which the emission rate increa ...

Cornufer Gilliardi
''Cornufer gilliardi'', commonly known as Gilliard's wrinkled ground frog, is a species of frog in the family Ceratobatrachidae. It is endemic to the Whiteman Ranges of New Britain, Bismarck Archipelago (Papua New Guinea). The specific name ''gilliardi'' honors Ernest Thomas Gilliard, an American ornithologist who, together with Margaret Gilliard, collected the holotype . Taxonomy ''Cornufer gilliardi'' was originally described as ''Platymantis gilliardi'' based on holotype from New Britain and paratypes from the Admiralty Archipelago. Later research has shown that the Admiralty Archipelago specimens represent other species, ''Platymantis latro'' (now '' Cornufer latro''), and that the range of ''Cornufer gilliardi'' is restricted to New Britain. Description The holotype is an adult female measuring in snout–vent length. The tympanum and the supratympanic fold are moderately distinct. The eyes are relatively large. The fingers have lateral fringes but no discs. The toes hav ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
