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. [1] [3] The specific name personatus is Latin adjective meaning "masked", in reference to the head coloration. [2] Common name Maprik callulops frog has been proposed for it. [1] [3]
Callulops personatus is a relatively large species, with males reaching a snout–vent length of 73 mm (2.9 in) and females 71 mm (2.8 in). 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 with an orange or gray tint. [2]
Callulops personatus occurs in lowland rainforest, secondary forest, and anthropogenic grassland at elevations of 240–1,000 m (790–3,280 ft) above sea level, [1] perhaps lower. [2] The holotype was collected from the mouth of one-foot deep burrow and was spotted based on its call. [2] Presumably, development is direct (i.e., there is no free-living larval stage [4]). It is a fairly common species that is not experiencing significant threats. Its range includes the Cyclops Nature Reserve. [1]
