It's a species of the "hopper" frogs from madagascar. I'm not real knowledgable on them but I can tell you that much at least, so you're on the right track searching.

This is a Madagasgar burrowing frog, S. pustulosa, as described and pictured in this caresheet: http://www.amphibian.co.uk/scaphiophryne.html

I bought 2 of the S. marmorata yesterday after consulting Derek Benson. Derek Benson has had 9-10 of the S. postulosa for a while, and says they have proven to be the easiest frog to take care of in his opinion. He keeps them set up in a tank with a false bottom, then has a mixture of bed-a-beast, chopped oak and magnolia leaves, spaghnum moss, sand, pure potting soil, etc. He has live pothos, creeping fig, etc. He also includes some live moss from his back yard and a few cork slabs to hide under in their tank. He has't seen it on any caresheet about them climbing much (S. pustulosa) but they climb in their pothos bush about every day. S. marmorata are supposedly more arboreal as well.
These frogs have common names like emerald hoppers, pudge frogs, etc.
