Ranoidea robinsonae is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae, endemic to Papua New Guinea.[2][1][3]
The skin of the dorsum mostly green in color with pale stripes. Three adult male frogs were found to measure 28.3–28.7 mm in snout-vent length. Some of these frogs have dark spots.[2]
Scientists place this frog in the same species group as the dainty green tree frog.[1]
