}}Austrochaperina aquilonia is a species of frogs in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to the Sandaun Province, north-western Papua New Guinea. It is only known from two nearby locations in the Torricelli Mountains: Mount Somoro (type locality) and from the village of Wilbeite.[1][2][ The specific name aquilonia is a Latin adjective meaning "northern" and refers to the range of this species in the north coast mountains of New Guinea.[2]{{Location map | Papua New Guinea]

}}DescriptionAustrochaperina aquilonia is only known from two specimens, both adult males: the holotype (collected by Jared Diamond) measuring {{convert|31|mm|abbr=on}} in snout–vent length, and the paratype (collected by Tim Flannery) measuring {{convert|23|mm|abbr=on}}. It is a relatively slender-bodied species with a bluntly pointed snout. The hands are relatively small and have small finger discs. The toes are unwebbed. The dorsum is pale graybrown with darker brown irregular spotting and mottling.[2]Habitat and conservationHabitat data are missing[2] but Austrochaperina aquilonia is believed to be a forest inhabitant. The specimens were collected somewhere between {{convert|730|and|1420|m|abbr=on}} above sea level.[1] There are no known threats to this little known species.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite journal | author = Richards, S. | author2 = Allison, A. | last-author-amp = yes | title = Austrochaperina aquilonia | journal = IUCN Red List of Threatened Species | volume= 2004 | page = e.T57685A11663998 | year = 2004 | doi = 10.2305/IUCN.UK.2004.RLTS.T57685A11663998.en }}
