Ranoidea pratti

Ranoidea pratti, commonly known as Pratt's tree frog, is a species of frog in the family Pelodryadidae. It is endemic to the Vogelkopf Peninsula, West Papua, Indonesia, where the type series was collected.[3] There are no confirmed records of this species after it was first recorded, so very little information exists on it.[1]
