摘要：

Choerophryne allisoni sp. nov. is described from mid-montane rainforest on Mt Sisa, Southern Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea. It is distinguished from all congeners by its very small size (two males 11.5 and 11.6 mm SV) and reduced snout overhang. Males call from within leaf litter on the forest floor during and after heavy rain. The advertisement call is a short 'bleat' with 5-6 notes, a dominant frequency of 4220-4959 Hz and a note repetition rate of 15.6-15.8/s.
