Callulina dawida, also known as Taita warty frog, is a species of frog in the Brevicipitidae family. It is endemic to Kenya, where it is only found in severely fragmented montane forests in Taita Hills in the south-eastern part of the country. Originally Callulina was thought to be monotypic and widely distributed through Eastern Arc Mountains in Tanzania and in southern Kenya. However, within the last decade eight new species has been identified, many which are considered critically endangered by IUCN. Callulina dawida was described in 2009 by a team lead by Simon Loader; it received its specific name after Dawida language, which is spoken in Taita Hills.
