Litoria sauroni is a tree frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea.[2] Scientists know it solely from the Kikori Integrate Conservation and Development Project area. Scientists disagree about whether this frog is best placed in the genus Litoria or Nyctimystes.[3][4]

This frog has red-and-black eyes and nuptial pads on its front feet.[4][5]
