Parapelophryne is a monotypic genus of toads in the family Bufonidae.

[1][2] Parapelophryne scalpta occurs in evergreen broadleaf forests at elevations of 350–1,400 m (1,150–4,590 ft) above sea level.

Males call near small streams, the probable breeding habitat of this species.

It is threatened by habitat loss caused by smallholder farming activities and small-scale wood extraction.

Its range overlaps with some protected areas.
