Cophixalus tetzlaffi is a species of frog in the Microhylidae family. It is endemic to West Papua, Indonesia, where it is only known from near its type locality near Fakfak.[3] Its natural habitat is tropical primary forest where it can attain locally high densities. It is potentially threatened by habitat loss.[1]
Description
Cophixalus tetzlaffi are small frogs, though medium-sized among Cophixalus: adult males measure 20–22 mm (0.79–0.87 in) in snout–vent length. Head is broader than long, and males have a large vocal sac. Ground colour is yellowish-grey during day, getting light grey at night. There are conspicuous blackish dorsolaterar stripes, and a cream-coloured stripe running from tip of the snout to the anus.[2]
