200 new species found in Papua New Guinea

A thumbnail-sized frog with a long snout, a brilliant green cricket with bright pink eyes and a mouse with a white-tipped tail are among 200 species scientists have discovered in the remote mountains of Papua New Guinea.

The findings were unveiled this week by Washington DC-based Conservation International, whose researchers discovered a kaleidoscopic array of critters during two expeditions to the South Pacific island nation in 2009.
