Austrochaperina novaebritanniae is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to the island of New Britain, Papua New Guinea. It is restricted to the northeastern part of the island where it occurs in lowland rainforests at elevations of 350–1,000 m (1,150–3,280 ft) above sea level. It has also been found in a recently cleared rainforest. It is threatened by the logging of lowland forest but can be locally abundant.

Copiula pipiens is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is known from its type locality, Wirui near Wewak in the north coast of New Guinea, Papua New Guinea, and from the island of Yapen, off the north-western coast of New Guinea, in the West Papua province of Indonesia. The Yapen population might represent a different but closely related species. Common name Wirui Mehely frog has been coined for this species.
Copiula tyleri is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to northeastern New Guinea and is found in both Western New Guinea and Papua New Guinea. The specific name tyleri honours Michael J. Tyler, Australian herpetologist who have worked extensively with Australian and New Guinean frogs.
Copiula alpestris is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea and known from the Western Highlands, Chimbu, and Eastern Highlands Provinces at elevations of 1,800–2,800 m (5,900–9,200 ft) above sea level. The specific name is a Latin adjective meaning "living in high mountains", in reference to its relatively high-altitude habitats. Based on molecular evidence, the species was transferred from Oxydactyla to Copiula in 2016.
Sphenophryne coggeri is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to New Guinea and known from two regions in Papua New Guinea, one in the Madang Province and the other in the Southern Highlands Province. The specific name coggeri honors Harold Cogger, a herpetologist from the Australian Museum.

It is endemic to Papua New Guinea and known from the New Guinea Highlands in the Western Highlands, Chimbu, Eastern Highlands Provinces at elevations between 2,490 and 4,000 m above sea level.
