Austrochaperina Pluvialis
''Austrochaperina pluvialis'', also known as the rain frog, white-browed chirper, flecked land frog, or whitebrowed whistle frog, is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is Endemism, endemic to northeastern Queensland, Australia. Habitat and conservation ''Austrochaperina pluvialis'' occurs in rainforests at elevations up to at least , and at least historically, to above sea level. They are usually found beneath fallen timber and leaf litter. Males Sexual selection in amphibians#Vocal signaling in frogs, call from beneath leaves on the forest floor. Eggs are deposited terrestrially and have direct development, hatching as fully formed froglets. ''Austrochaperina pluvialis'' is an infrequently seen species that appears patchily distributed because of difficulty of encountering it. In the past it has been threatened by habitat loss caused by logging. At present, development for tourism could represent a localized threat. References Austrochaperina, pluvialis ...

Austrochaperina Mehelyi
''Austrochaperina mehelyi'' is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae, endemic to Papua New Guinea, known only from two localities, Adelbert Range and mountains of Huon Peninsula . Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is very poorly known and was last collected in 2003 where it was abundant. A. mehelyi was originally described as a new species ''Chaperina fusca'' by Hungarian zoologist Lajos Méhelÿ in 1901; however, that name was preoccupied by another frog species described already in 1892. A replacement for the specific name was given in 1934 by Hampton Wildman Parker Hampton Wildman Parker, CBE (5 July 1897 – 2 September 1968) was an English zoologist. Parker graduated from Cambridge in 1923 with degrees in botany, zoology, and chemistry. Within the same year, he joined the staff of the British Museum (Natu ....

Austrochaperina Kosarek
''Austrochaperina kosarek'' is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to New Guinea and only known from its type locality, Kosarek, in West Papua (Indonesia). It is only known from one specimen collected in 1979. It has not been well-studied but it might be widespread in suitable habitat. Description The holotype is an adult female measuring in snout–vent length. The head almost as wide as the body. The snout is tapering to a sharply rounded tip but is rounded and slightly projecting in profile. The eyes are large. The tympanic annulus is obscure; a weak postorbital-supratympanic fold is present. The legs are short. The finger tips are flattened and disc-like, but only the disc of the third finger is broader than the penultimate phalanx; discs have somewhat broader discs. No webbing is present. The dorsum is light brown with obscure, small, darker markings and a dark mark above the cloacal opening. The snout is gray above, almost white on its tip. The c ...
