Comment

Most similar to Austrochaperina macrorhynchus according to the original publication. Kraus and Allison, 2006, Herpetol. Rev., 37: 364-368, provided a range extension to the Bewani Mountains and characterized the range. Menzies, 2006, Frogs New Guinea & Solomon Is.: 216, provided a brief account.
