Litoria sauroni is a tree frog from Papua New Guinea.[2] Scientists have only seen it in the Kikori Integrate Conservation and Development Project area. Different scientists disagree about whether this frog should be in the genus Litoria or Nyctimystes.[3][4]
This frog has red-and-black eyes and pads, called nuptial pads, on its front feet.[4][5]
