Nyctimystes avocalis or the loud big-eyed tree frog is small frog from Papua New Guinea.[2][3] It lives in wetlands far from the ocean. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species says it is vulnerable to extinction.[1]
As of the 1950s, this frog had only been seen on eastern Goodenough Island, about 900 meters above sea level.[1][4]
The male frog is about 35 mm long from nose to rear end. The frog is gray with brown patches on its back.[4]
