Austrochaperina pluvialis, commonly known as the Rain Frog or White-browed Whistling Frog, is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae.[1] It is endemic to Australia.

Description and habitat

A small species of frog about 5.5 cm long and with a weight up to 5 grams. It has spotty skin that is brown coloured with cream coloured spots and white dots.[2]

Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
