Lechriodus aganoposis

Lechriodus aganoposis is a species of frog in the family Limnodynastidae. It is found in West Papua in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Its population is unknown, but studies show it is, while uncommon, not endangered, nor are there any threats to its future due to its stable nature currently and its potential tolerance to habitat degradation.
