Comment

Menzies, 2006, Frogs New Guinea & Solomon Is.: 155–156, provided a brief account. Menzies, 2014, Trans. R. Soc. S. Aust., 138: 135–143, revised and redelimited the species including the delimitation of the Nyctimystes narinosus species group. This latter publication mapped only the Schrader Mountain part of the range possibly implying something about the identification of records from father to the west (DRF).
