Male adult frogs are about 43.6 to 49.4 mm long from nose to rear end and females are 53.8 to 54.7 cm long. Each frog has a spike on its nose and teeth on its upper jaw. Their front feet and hind feet are completely webbed and their toes have discs for climbing. Their skins are yellow-brown, red-brown or dark green. They can have yellow or purple marks.[1]
As of 2014, people had only seen Litoria hilli on one island in New Guinea, Sudest Island, and only on the west side of Mt. Rio. This is 130–410 meters above sea level.[1]
Adults lay eggs on leaves above small bodies of water.[1]
