Among the 20 new frogs discovered during the 2009 Papua New Guinea expedition is this striking, yellow-spotted species of the genus Platymantis, found only at the highest elevations surveyed in the Nakanai Mountains, Males called from small bushes in bamboo thickets so dense that it took many hours to cut a path just a few yards off the main trail to track them down.
