Oreophryne sibilans

Males measure 20–23 mm (0.79–0.91 in) and females 24–25 mm (0.94–0.98 in) in snout–vent length. Males and females are similar in colouration and body proportions, but males can be distinguished by their expanded throat skin. Dorsum is greyish or brownish with darker and lighter spots. Ventral surface is strongly mottled in dark brown. Tympanum is barely visible. Fingers have large discs; toes have smaller discs and basal webbing.^[2]

The species' natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forests at elevations of 450–800 m (1,480–2,620 ft) asl. They are most often found perched on shrubs, lower tree branches, or grasses some 1–2.5 m (3 ft 3 in – 8 ft 2 in) above the ground.^[1][2]

Oreophryne sibilans is relatively abundant, and among the most abundant frog species in the rainforest of the Wondiwoi Mountains.^[2] Threats to it are unknown. It might occur within the Wondiwoi Nature Reserve.^[1]
