Oreophryne is a genus of frogs from the subfamily of the Papuan narrow-mouth frogs (Asterophryinae).

description

The pupils are horizontal. The tongue is large, oval, with entire margins and freely liftable at the back. Palatine teeth are missing. There are two transverse folds of skin in front of the entrance to the throat. The rear is always serrated, the front notched or smooth. The eardrum is more or less clearly visible. The fingers are free. The toes are free or webbed . However, these do not intervene between the metatarses of the 4th and 5th toes. The tips of the fingers and toes are widened to form adhesive discs. They have T- or Y-shaped, bony terminal phalanges. Praecoracoid are present. The collarbones attached to their front edge do not reach the shoulder blade with their lateral end . However, in many species there is a cartilaginous connection between the two bones, in the remaining species this connection consists of ligaments of collagen . The omosternum is missing. The sternum is an anchor-shaped cartilage plate. The transverse processes of the sacral vertebra are fairly widened.

Occurrence

The genus occurs from the southern Philippines , Sulawesi and the Lesser Sunda Islands to New Guinea and New Britain .

Systematics

The genus Oreophryne was first described by Oskar Boettger in 1895 . It includes 70 species:
