Species of amphibian
Ranoidea brongersmai is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae. It is endemic to New Guinea and known from its type locality in the Snow Mountains (Panara Valley near Mount Doorman Top),[1][2] and according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, from another location in the Wapoga River headwaters some 100 km further west.[1] Both sites are in Western New Guinea (Indonesia).[1][2] Its range is probably broader than current knowledge suggests.[1] The specific name brongersmai honours Leo Brongersma, a Dutch author and zoologist.[3] Accordingly, the common name Brongersma's treefrog has been proposed for it.[2][3]
