Albericus exclamitans is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae, the narrow-mouthed frogs. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea.[1]
This frog was described to science in 2005. So far it is known from only two locations, but it is thought to be somewhat common. It lives on forested hills where it spends most of its time resting on leaves 1 to 3 meters above the ground. Males call at night.[1]
