Platymantis isarog, sometimes known as the Isarog forest frog, is a species of frog in the family Ceratobatrachidae. It is endemic to southeastern Luzon, Philippines, where it is known from two volcanos, Mount Isarog (its type locality) and Mount Malinao.

Appearance

Adult males measure 23–28 mm (0.9–1.1 in) and adult females 28–30 mm (1.1–1.2 in) in snout–vent length. The snout is broadly rounded. The tympanum is distinct. The fingers have no webbing whereas the toes are webbed. The hind limbs are moderately long. The dorsum has grayish to orange brown background color and is marked with varied darker spots and blotches. Some specimens have a pale vertebral line starting from the beginning on the snout. The hind limbs have dark transverse bars. There are yellowish, brown-ringed areolations in the groin, on the thighs, and frequently the lower legs. The venter has brown spots or reticulations (this species was originally named as P. reticulatus in reference to the latter).
