It is endemic to the northern side of the central cordillera of Papua New Guinea, at altitudes of around 850m. Choerophryne epirrhina has an elongated snout and advertisement call of 3-4 pulsed notes in long repeated sequences. Males can be found calling from within leaf litter after rain at night.[1]
