Ranoidea robinsonae is a frog from Papua New Guinea. Scientists saw it in Gulf Province but they think it lives in other places as well.[2][1][3]

This frog is mostly green in color on the back with pale stripes. Three adult male frogs were 28.3-28.7 mm long from nose to rear end. Some of these frogs have dark spots.[2]

Scientists say this frog is related to the dainty green tree frog.[1]
