Pseudophilautus stuarti
Pseudophilautus stuarti is a frog in the family Rhacophoridae (order Anura), recorded as Critically Endangered.
Appearance
The adult male frog measures 24.2 – 25.3 mm in snout-vent length and the adult female frog about 33.45 mm. The skin of dorsum is light green in color with some darker green marks. The tympanum is green in color and parts of the mouth are yellow.
Range and habitat
It was first formally observed in Corbett's Gap in the Knuckles Mountain Range, 1249 meters above sea level. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss associated with urbanization, grazing, and logging.
Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.
Breeding
Calling males and egg sites define most frog field work. A species known from one ridge is as narrow as it sounds.
Eggs and damp skin make amphibians quick to vanish from a drained wetland or a forest stripped of litter.
In crisis
Chytrid fungus, collection, and wet-forest loss are the usual pressures on frogs with a high threat category.
