摘要
The micohylid frog Xenobatrachus lanthanites sp. nov. is described on the basis of recently collected material from the mountains of Yapen Island in Cenderawasih Bay, Papua, Province of Indonesia. With a mean snout-urostyle length of 21.9 mm, the new species is among the smallest of its genus. In most morphological, anatomical, ecological and behavioural details it is very similar to Xenorhina bouwensi ( de Witte) from the mainland of north-western New Guinea. Data for the latter are also given. Biochemical studies did not furnish unequivocal results concerning the taxonomic status of the genus Xenobatrachus.
