Cophixalus pulchellus is a species of frog in the Microhylidae family. This article is about the block cipher algorithm For the ultrafast laser pulse measurement technique see Frequency-resolved optical gating. Microhylidae is a geographically widespread family of Frogs There are 413 species in 69 genera and nine subfamilies which is the largest number of genera of It is endemic to Papua New Guinea. Endemism is the Ecological state of being unique to a place Endemic species are not naturally found elsewhere Papua New Guinea (or ˈpæpjuːə in Tok Pisin: Papua Niugini) officially the Independent State of Papua New Guinea, is a country in Oceania Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montanes. A habitat (which is Latin for "it inhabits" is an Ecological or environmental area that is inhabited by a particular Species. A forest is an area with a high density of Trees There are many definitions of a forest based on various criteria Montane is a biogeographic term which refers to highland areas located below the Subalpine zone This species is only known from one locality on Mount Hunstein, Papua New Guinea, at 1,000m asl. It has been listed by IUCN on the Red List because it has recently been discovered, and there is very little information on the extent of its occurace, status, and ecological requirements. Its status was assesed in 2004. It was classified as data deficient. Its population trend was unknown at its last assessment. Interestingly enough, its population is known only from a single, discovered specimen. It was found in shrubs in closed-canopy rainforest, and the species is presumed to breed by direct development. There are no known threats to this species, and its location probably safe from human disturbance at this time.
