About Pseudophryne raveni Ingram & Corben, 1994

Pseudophryne raveni Ingram & Corben, 1994, a species of toadlet native to Australia, should not be confused with the cane toad Rhinella marina, and can be easily distinguished by several key characteristics. Both adult males and females of this species grow to 30 millimetres (1.2 in) in length. Its back is colored dark black-red brown or copper. The sides are coppery grey, with a distinct black stripe that runs from the nostril through the eye, along the sides, and joins at the base of the hind legs. The belly has a black and white marbled pattern. For reproduction, males emit a drawn-out eeaaaaak call while under cover on solid ground. Large eggs are laid in moist soil, or in chambers the male excavates under debris on the forest floor.
