Asterophrys is a genus of microhylid frogs found in New Guinea.
Their common name is New Guinea bush frogs, although this name may also specifically refer to Asterophrys turpicola.
[1] Asterophrys are moderate to large-sized microhylid frogs, with the larger Asterophrys turpicola measuring up to 65 mm (2.6 in) in snout–vent length.
A distinctive feature of these frogs is their extremely broad head, almost half of snout–vent length.
