Chaperina basipalmata (van Kampen, 1906) Chaperina quatuorlobata (Wandolleck, 1911) Austrochaperina basipalmata is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae.

The tip of the snout is somewhat pointed and conspicuously whitened in adult males but the shout is rounded in adult females, rarely showing even a trace of white; juveniles of both sexes have dark snouts.

The finger and toe tips bear grooved discs.

The undersides are pale tan with more or less distinct darker mottling on the chin, chest, and hind legs.

[3] Austrochaperina basipalmata occurs in rainforests in association with small mountain streams[1] at elevations of 940–1,200 m (3,080–3,940 ft) above sea level.
