Discodeles bufoniformis (common name: warty webbed frog or Treasury Island webbed frog) is a species of frog in the Ceratobatrachidae family. It is endemic to the Solomon Islands archipelago where it is widespread, but it is missing from Guadalcanal and Makira islands.[2] It is a common species though it occurs patchily. It inhabits small streams in lowland rainforests. It also tolerates some habitat degradation, provided that vegetation is left along the streams. It is locally impacted by habitat loss caused by logging, and it is also used for human consumption.[1]
