Platymantis corrugatus (Duméril, 1853)
Accepted species in Catalogue of Life’s 11 September 2026 base release. This preserves the source classification and available supporting data; it is not a completed species monograph.
Found during the day in amongst leaf litter on Bohol. This was smaller than the other P. corrugatus frog found at the same location, juvenile perhaps or male? Thanks to Arvin Diesmos for the identification.
