Chaperina ceratophthalmus van Kampen, 1909 Sphenophryne cornuta is a species of frogs in the family Microhylidae.

Each eyelid bears a small but distinct, pointed tubercle, making this species easy to recognize.

[4] Sphenophryne cornuta breeds by direct development, and the male carries its babies on its back.

[1] Sphenophryne cornuta inhabits tropical rainforests at elevations below 1,500 m (4,900 ft).

It hides in leaf litter and under logs during the day, and calls from bushes and saplings in understorey at night.
