Nyctimystes obsoletus, the Simbang big-eyed tree frog, is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae, endemic to Papua New Guinea. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and rivers.
Nyctimystes is a genus of tree frogs in the subfamily Pelodryadinae of the family Hylidae. They are principally Papuan species, but also inhabit islands in the Moluccas. All species in this genus have one distinct feature that separates them from other species in the family, the lower eyelid is marked with pattern of lines, veins, or dots. This feature presumably acts as camouflage when the frogs are at rest during the day.
The multi-coloured tree frog or multi-coloured frog is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae. It is endemic to West Papua, Indonesia. It has been observed about 950 meters above sea level. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, swamps, and freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Nyctimystes disruptus, also known the Madang big-eyed tree frog and Richard's big-eyed tree frog, is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae, endemic to New Guinea. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, rivers, rural gardens, and heavily degraded former forest.
Nyctimystes gularis, the Mondo big-eyed tree frog, is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae, endemic to Papua New Guinea. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and rivers.
Nyctimystes humeralis, also known as green big-eyed tree frog, is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae that is found in New Guinea. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and rivers.
Nyctimystes montanus is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae. It is endemic to the Arfak Mountains, located in the Bird's Head Peninsula of northwestern New Guinea. This species is only known from its type locality. There are no records of this species after it was described in 1878, perhaps because of lack of surveys.
Nyctimystes narinosus, the common big-eyed treefrog, is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae of the family Hylidae. It is endemic to New Guinea and occurs in the Wahgi-Sepik Dividing Range and the Schrader Mountains, on both sides of the border between Papua (Indonesia) and Papua New Guinea. There is, however, some uncertainty about the western limit of this species. Despite its vernacular name, Nyctimystes narinosus is not a common species.
Nyctimystes perimetri, also known as the archipelago big-eyed treefrog, is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae of the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea and currently only known from the Louisiade Archipelago, although it might also occur in the Owen Stanley Range of the mainland Papua New Guinea. It has also been suggested that the Rossel Island population might represent a distinct species.
Nyctimystes persimilis, also known as the Milne big-eyed treefrog, is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae of the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea and known from Mount Dayman and Mount Simpson in the Owen Stanley Range.
Nyctimystes pulcher, the spurred big-eyed tree frog, is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae, found in New Guinea. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and rivers.
Nyctimystes semipalmatus, the Kokoda big-eyed tree frog, is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae, endemic to Papua New Guinea. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, rivers, and heavily degraded former forests.
Nyctimystes trachydermis, also known as the Morobe big-eyed treefrog, is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae of the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea and occurs in the mountains of southern eastern New Guinea. Its type locality is Gapaia Creek, at 1,280 m (4,200 ft) asl between Garaina and Saureli, in the Morobe Province. The specific name trachydermis means "rough skinned", derived from the Greek words trachys and derma.
Nyctimystes eucavatus is a species of tree frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to eastern Papua New Guinea. Scientists have observed it between 800 and 1200 meters above sea level in the eastern mountains.
Nyctimystes sauroni is a species of tree frog and an endemic to Papua New Guinea Scientifically, it is in the subfamily Pelodryadinae. It is Scientists know it solely from the Kikori Integrate Conservation and Development Project area.
Nyctimystes traunae is a species of tree frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae, endemic to Papua New Guinea. It lives on mountains in the centre of the island in the Western Highlands Province. Scientists have seen it about 800 meters above sea level.
Nyctimystes pallidofemora is a species of tree frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae, endemic to Papua New Guinea. Scientists disagree about whether this frog is best placed in the genus Nyctimystes or the genus Litoria.
Nyctimystes bivocalis is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae, endemic to New Guinea. It has been observed in the Cloudy Mountains and part of the Owen Stanley Mountains in Milne Bay Province. The adult male frog measures 38.5 to 49.2 mm long in snout-vent length and it is gray-brown in color. The adult female measures 42.2 to 55.7 mm long and is orange-brown in color.
