Open encyclopedia reference
Oreophryne anulata is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to the Philippines and is known from Mindanao, Biliran, Siargao, and Leyte; it probably occurs in some smaller, intervening islands too. Common names Mindanao cross frog and Davao cross frog have been proposed for it; the latter in apparent reference to its type locality, "Davao", even though it probably is in error.
