Species are found in Melanesia and Polynesia — in Palau, Fiji, New Guinea, and in the Admiralty, Bismarck, and Solomon Islands. Species There are currently at least 50 extant species in this genus. * '' Cornufer acrochordus'' (Brown, 1965) * '' Cornufer aculeodactylus'' (Brown, 1952) * '' Cornufer adiastolus'' (Brown, Richards, Sukumaran, and Foufopoulos, 2006) * '' Cornufer admiraltiensis'' (Richards, Mack & Austin, 2007) * '' Cornufer akarithymus'' (Brown & Tyler, 1968) * '' Cornufer batantae'' (Zweifel, 1969) * '' Cornufer bimaculatus'' (Günther, 1999) * '' Cornufer boulengeri'' (Boettger, 1892) * '' Cornufer browni'' (Allison & Kraus, 2001) * '' Cornufer bufoniformis'' (Boulenger, 1884) * '' Cornufer bufonulus'' (Kraus and Allison, 2007) * '' Cornufer caesiops'' (Kraus and Allison, 200 ...

Frog
A frog is any member of a diverse and largely Carnivore, carnivorous group of short-bodied, tailless amphibians composing the order (biology), order Anura (ανοὐρά, literally ''without tail'' in Ancient Greek). The oldest fossil "proto-frog" ''Triadobatrachus'' is known from the Early Triassic of Madagascar, but molecular clock, molecular clock dating suggests their split from other amphibians may extend further back to the Permian, 265 Myr, million years ago. Frogs are widely distributed, ranging from the tropics to subarctic regions, but the greatest concentration of species diversity is in tropical rainforest. Frogs account for around 88% of extant amphibian species. They are also one of the five most diverse vertebrate orders. Warty frog species tend to be called toads, but the distinction between frogs and toads is informal, not from Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy or evolutionary history. An adult frog has a stout body, protruding eyes, anteriorly-attached tongue, limb ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cornufer Bimaculatus
''Platymantis bimaculatus'' is a species of frog in the family Ceratobatrachidae. It is endemic to West Papua, Indonesia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland 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 .... Geographical Range This species is known only from the type locality in the Wondiwoi Mountains, Papua, Indonesia, from 400-800m above sea level. It probably occurs more widely. Habitat and Ecology It inhabits primary rainforest and breeds by direct development. The males call from the forest floor, and its eggs are also laid on the ground.

Cornufer Citrinospilus
''Cornufer citrinospilus'' is a species of frog in the family Ceratobatrachidae. It is endemic to the island of New Britain, Papua New Guinea, and is only known from the Nakanai Mountains of East New Britain Province.
