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] Scientists have only seen this frog in Papua Province, about 750 meters above sea level.[1][3]

This frog is mostly green in color on the back with pale stripes. The adult male frog is about 2.8 cm long. Some of these frogs have dark spots.[2]

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