Litoria biakensis is a frog from an island near Indonesia. It lives on Biak Island.[2][3]

The adult frog is 2.7 to 3.3 cm long from nose to rear end. It is dark green or brown on the back with yellow stripes. The male frogs have orange throats. Scientists saw this frog in swamps that had many plants that were hard to walk through but no large trees.[4]
