Paracassina obscura (common names: Ethiopia striped frog, Boulenger's mountain kassina) is a species of frog in the family Hyperoliidae. It is endemic to Ethiopian highlands west of the Rift Valley.[2] Its natural habitats are montane grasslands, less commonly forest margins. It is also known from a few clearings in tropical deciduous forest, rural gardens, and urban areas. It could be threatened by habitat loss.[1]
