Cornufer hedigeri, commonly known as the Treasury wrinkled ground frog or Solomon Islands giant treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Ceratobatrachidae,[2] named after Henry B. Guppy who collected the holotype from the Treasury Islands.[3] It is widespread in the Solomon Islands archipelago (Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands), though it is missing from New Georgia and Makira islands.[2]

Description

Specimens of the species Cornufer hedigeri are medium-sized frogs: the holotype measured 68 mm (2.7 in) in snout–vent length. Its back is light brown or pinkish, spotted or dotted with brown, whereas it is whitish below.[3]

Cornufer hedigeri is a very common and abundant species that inhabits closed-canopy rainforest and old regrowth forest. They live in the trees, about 2–20 m (6 ft 7 in–65 ft 7 in) above the ground. It might be threatened by logging, although its ability to persist in regrown forests suggests it is relatively resilient.[1]
