Choerophryne tubercula is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea and known from scattered locations in the New Guinea Highlands.[1][2] However, the species is likely to occur also in the Indonesian part of New Guinea.[2] Common name warty rainforest ground frog has been coined for it.[2]
Adults measure 14–18 mm (0.55–0.71 in) in snout–urostyle length. Skin is warty. The dorsal ground colour is variable and ranges from pale fawn to very dark brown. Some individuals have a light mid-dorsal line and most have a dark hour-glass mark commencing between the eyes. The iris is gold with dark marks.[3]
The male advertisement call is a series of nasal squeaks. Each note lasts 250–350 ms.[3]
Its natural habitats are lower montane rainforests at elevations of 1,000–1,900 m (3,300–6,200 ft) above sea level. It also occurs in disturbed forest habitats. No significant threats affecting this locally abundant species that can tolerate some habitat modification are known.[1]
