The specific name gunnari is derived from Gunnar.[2] DescriptionTen individuals in the type series measure {{convert|14.3|–|20.9|mm|abbr=on}} in snout–urostyle length. The largest male was {{convert|16.4|mm|abbr=on}} and a female was {{convert|21.2|mm|abbr=on}} (reason for the discrepancy is unexplained).[2] Six of the types were examined later and found to be males, measuring {{convert|15.4|–|21.7|mm|abbr=on}} in snout–vent length.[12] The dorsal surface has a large, dark hour-glass mark on a greyish background. The ventral ground colour is whitish, but the throat is dark in both males and females. The belly has a large, dark, intense blue blotch, and hind limbs are marked with blue blotches alternating between lighter and darker shades. This blue pigmentation is unique among all former Albericus species known at the time.[2] The male advertisement call is said to lack "musical quality". It is a series of "clicks" emitted at a mean rate of 240 min1.[2] Habitat and conservationChoerophryne gunnari is a poorly known species. It has been found in foothill rainforest and undisturbed forest at elevations of {{convert|450|-|800|m|abbr=on}} above sea level. It can be quite common in undisturbed habitat but does not seem to tolerate habitat modification. Logging is a threat to its habitat, although there should still be plenty of suitable habitat available.[1]References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite journal | author = Richards, S. | author2 = Parker, F. | author3 = Menzies, J. | author4 = Kraus, F. | title = Choerophryne gunnari | journal = IUCN Red List of Threatened Species | volume= 2006 | page = e.T57665A11670966 | year = 2006 | doi = 10.2305/IUCN.UK.2004.RLTS.T57665A11670966.en }} [2][3][4]2. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://research.amnh.org/vz/herpetology/amphibia/Amphibia/Anura/Microhylidae/Asterophryinae/Choerophryne/Choerophryne-gunnari |title=Choerophryne gunnari (Menzies, 1999) |author=Frost, Darrel R. |year=2017 |work=Amphibian Species of the World: an Online Reference.
