Status of some Philippine frogs referred to Rana everetti (Anura : Ranidae), description of a new species, and resurrection of Rana igorota Taylor 1922

We describe a new species of wide-disked ranine frog from Aurora National P ark and possibly Mt. Cetaceo, two montane localities within the geologicall y distinct Sierra Madres coastal mountain range, eastern Luzon Island, Phil ippines. This endemic differs from Philippine congeners in the R. everetti species group by the combination of a relatively small body size, the prese nce of densely distributed asperities throughout the skin of most males, a translucent tympanum in females and most males, an iridescent green dorsum with black spots or faint reticulum in males and an iridescent green to gol den dorsum with distinctive brown reticulum in females. In addition to the new species, we support the designation of Rana everetti, R. luzonensis, an d R. albotuberculata as distinct evolutionary species, and we resurrect R. igorota from the synonymy of R. everetti luzonensis.
