Platymantis indeprensus is a frog. It lives in the Philippines on Mount Banajao and Mount San Cristobal. People have seen it between 600 and 1400 meters above sea level.[1][2][3]

The adult male frog is about 21.5-27.3 mm long from nose to rear end. There is no webbed skin on the front feet and only a small amount of webbed skin on the back feet. The skin on the frog's back is black-brown in color, sometimes with a lighter stripe.[4]
