Fry's frog (Austrochaperina fryi) is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Australia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Austrochaperina adamantina is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to New Guinea and occurs in the Torricelli and Bewani Mountains in the West Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea. The specific name adamantina is Latin for "like a diamond" and refers to Jared Diamond, credited as the collector of the holotype and "great many other valuable herpetological specimens from Papua New Guinea".
The Northern Territory frog, also known as the peeping land frog, Top End chirper and Top End tiny frog, is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Australia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical swamps, moist savanna, intermittent rivers, swamps, intermittent freshwater marshes, plantations, rural gardens, heavily degraded former forest, and canals and ditches.
Austrochaperina aquilonia is a species of frogs in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to the Sandaun Province, north-western Papua New Guinea. It is only known from two nearby locations in the Torricelli Mountains: Mount Somoro and from the village of Wilbeite. The specific name aquilonia is a Latin adjective meaning "northern" and refers to the range of this species in the north coast mountains of New Guinea.

It is endemic to New Guinea and known from the northern slopes of the New Guinean Central Range in Western New Guinea (Indonesia), and from the Bewani, Torricelli, and Hunstein Mountains in Papua New Guinea. The specific name blumi honors J. Paul Blum, the herpetologist who collected the type series. Common name Kosarek land frog has been proposed for it.
Austrochaperina brevipes is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea and known only from two localities, Mount Victoria and Myola Guest House in the Owen Stanley Range. Common name Victoria land frog has been suggested for it.

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.
Austrochaperina palmipes is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, rivers, and heavily degraded former forest.

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 endemic to northeastern Queensland, Australia.
Austrochaperina polysticta is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
Copiula rivularis is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea and known from near the Indonesian border east to the Morobe Province; it is expected to occur in the Papua province of Indonesia. The specific name comes from the Latin adjective pertaining to small brooks or streams and refers to the habitat of this species. Based on molecular evidence, it was transferred from Austrochaperina to Copiula in 2016.
The robust frog is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Australia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Austrochaperina yelaensis is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae endemic to Papua New Guinea. It was originally only known from a specimen found around 1960 but was rediscovered again at the original location and a new one at Vanatinai. The population is unknown as it is not uncommon but also not frequently found. There are no major threats and it is protected by Vanatinai and Rossel Island.
