Hylophorbus rufescens is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to New Guinea and some nearby islands, and occurs in both West Papua ( Indonesia) and Papua New Guinea. Common name red Mawatta frog has been coined for it. [2]
Three subspecies are recognized: [2]
- Hylophorbus rufescens rufescens Macleay, 1878
- Hylophorbus rufescens extimus Zweifel, 1972
- Hylophorbus rufescens myopicus Zweifel, 1972
However, it is a species complex that is not yet fully resolved. [1] [2] Because of continual uncertainties with delimitation of this species, its range cannot be determined accurately. [1]
The Fergusson Island form, which may be distinct from H. rufescens proper, is infected by the nematode Moaciria moraveci. [3]
Hylophorbus rufescens is a terrestrial frog living on the forest floor in tropical rainforests at elevations up to 3,570 m (11,710 ft) above sea level. It is nocturnal.
