Platymantis boulengeri (Boulenger's wrinkled ground frog or Boulenger's platymantis) is a species of frog in the Ceratobatrachidae family. It is endemic to New Britain Island in the Bismarck Archipelago, Papua New Guinea.[2] The adults live on the forest floor of lowland and foothill rain forests, whereas juveniles occur low on the vegetation. It is potentially threatened by habitat loss caused by logging.[1]
