The spurred big-eyed tree frog (Nyctimystes pulcher) is a tree frog from New Guinea. It lives on the lower sides of mountains at around 1500 meters above sea level. It lives all through the middle of the island, in both Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.[3][2]
The spurred big-eyed tree frog is one of the largest species in Nyctimystes.[4] The Latin word pulchra means "pale" or "fair."
