Comment

Menzies, 2006, Frogs New Guinea & Solomon Is.: 240, provided a brief account. Günther, 2009, Zoosyst. Evol., Berlin, 85: 181-182, suggested that it was unlikely that this species belonged in Callulops but was unsure whether it belonged in Metamagnusia, Pseudocallulops, or some as yet unnamed taxon.
