The pupils are horizontal. The tongue is small, elongated, slightly incised at the back and freely liftable at the back and sides. Palatine teeth and ridges are missing. There are two serrated palatal folds. The eardrum is clearly visible. The fingers and toes have large adhesive discs . The terminal phalanges are bony and T-shaped. There is no webbing between the metatarsi of the 4th and 5th toes. Precoracoid and clavicle are absent.
Occurrence
The genus occurs only in New Guinea .
Systematics
The genus Choerophryne was first described by Pieter Nicolaas van Kampen in 1914. 18 species of the genus Albericus Burton & Zweifel, 1995 merged with the genus Choerophryne in 2015 . Molecular genetic studies had shown a paraphyly of the two genera. Together with 2 species newly described in 2015, 3 species described in 2017 and 2 species from 2018, the genus comprises 36 species:
