Asterophrys leucopus

Asterophrys leucopus is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae.

The three males in the type series measure 43–47 mm (1.7–1.9 in) in snout–vent length.

A distinctive feature of these frogs, shared with the congeneric Asterophrys turpicola, is their extremely broad head, almost half of snout–vent length.

The colour pattern is mottled light and dark pinkish brown, with irregular black patches on dorsal and lateral surfaces; this gives these frogs a good camouflage against wet moss of their habitat.

[2] Asterophrys leucopus inhabit mossy rainforests[1] at elevations of 950–1,600 m (3,120–5,250 ft) above sea level.
