}}Choerophryne darlingtoni is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea and found in the New Guinea Highlands.[2] The specific name darlingtoni honors P. Jackson Darlington, Jr., an American evolutionary biologist and zoogeographer. Common name Darlington's rainforest frog has been coined for it.[2]

Description

Choerophryne darlingtoni grows to a maximum snout–vent length of {{convert|27|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}. The snout is blunt, similar in length to the eye. The fifth toe is longer than the third.[7] Coloration is highly variable. A thin vertebral line or a broad light vertebral stripe may be present. The dorsal ground color varies from deep plumbeous to pale yellowish tan. Various darker markings are present. A pale, golden interocular line is almost always present but is sometimes indistinct. The venter is pale and nearly immaculate to grey.[8]Choerophryne darlingtoni is not morphologically distinguishable from Choerophryne fafniri[2] but is distinguishable by the male advertisement call.[1] It is also similar to Choerophryne variegata.[7]

Habitat and conservation

Its natural habitats are montane forests[1] at elevations above {{convert|2000|m|abbr=on}}.[2] It is a locally abundant species but can be locally threatened by habitat loss caused by selective logging and forest clearance.[1]
