Archey's frog (Leiopelma archeyi) is an archaic species of frog endemic to the North Island of New Zealand.[1][2] It is one of only three extant species belonging to the taxonomic family Leiopelmatidae. It is found only in the Coromandel Peninsula and near Te Kūiti in the North Island of New Zealand. This species, along with others in the family, have changed little over the past 200 million years, thus they represent "living fossils".
