Their common name is New Guinea bush frogs, although this name may also specifically refer to Asterophrys turpicola.[1] Its sister taxon has been suggested to be either Metamagnusia or Metamagnusia slateri.[2] Asterophrys are moderate to large-sized microhylid frogs, with the larger Asterophrys turpicola measuring up to {{convert|65|mm|abbr=on}} in snout–vent length. A distinctive feature of these frogs is their extremely broad head, almost half of snout–vent length. While both are New Guinean species, A. leucopus is more a mountain species than A. turpicola. The latter is known for its aggressiveness (it may even bite), whereas A. leucopus is more docile.[3]SpeciesThere are two species:[1]
A third, undescribed species may exist in Papua, western New Guinea.[3] References1. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://research.amnh.org/vz/herpetology/amphibia/Amphibia/Anura/Microhylidae/Asterophryinae/Asterophrys |title=Asterophrys Tschudi, 1838 |author=Frost, Darrel R. |year=2014 |work=Amphibian Species of the World: an Online Reference.
