Platymantis megabotoniviti is an extinct species of frog in the family Ceratobatrachidae. The species was described[1] from bones of late Quaternary age from caves on Viti Levu, Fiji. P. megabotoniviti is much larger than the other two species of Platymantis known from Fiji, P. vitianus and P. vitiensis.
