Palmatorappia solomonis, or Solomon Island palm frog, is a species of frog in the Ceratobatrachidae family. It is monotypic within the genus Palmatorappia.[2][3]
Palmatorappia solomonis is endemic to the Solomon Islands archipelago where it can be found at least in Buka and Bougainville Islands of Papua New Guinea and Choiseul and Santa Isabel Islands of the Solomon Islands, but probably also more widely.[4] It is a very rare species that is found on low vegetation and trees in tropical rain forests. It can also be found in good-quality secondary forests. It has direct development, that is, it breeds without free-living tadpole stage. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by logging.[1]
