Nyctimystes montanus (common name: mountain big-eyed tree frog) is a species of
type locality ("Hatam sul Monte Arfak").[1][3] There are no records of this species after it was described in 1878,[1][4] perhaps because of lack of surveys.[1]
Description
The
palpebral venation has many horizontal connections (other Nyctimystes have only vertically oriented veins).[4]
Habitat and conservation
The ecology and current population status of this species are essentially unknown. It is a montane frog that probably lives in streams in tropical rainforest. Threats to it are unknown. The type locality is within the Arfak Mountains National Park.[1]
