Duttaphrynus noellerti (common name: Noellert's toad) is a species of toad in the Bufonidae family. It is endemic to the rainforests of southwestern Sri Lanka.[2] It is an uncommon terrestrial toad found in, and around, tropical lowland moist forest. Adults have been recorded from rubber plantations, tea estates, and domestic gardens, but only close to the forest edge. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by selective logging and agrochemical pollution.[1]
