Choerophryne allisoni is a tiny species of frog in the family Microhylidae.[2][3] It is endemic to Papua New Guinea and only known from its type locality, Mount Sisa in the Southern Highlands Province.[3] The specific name allisoni honours Allen Allison, an American herpetologist.[2][4] Common name Allison's mountain frog has been coined for this species.[4]
The type series consists of two adult males that measure 11.5–11.6 mm (0.5–0.5 in) in snout–vent length. The snout is projecting and moderately elongated. The tympanum is indistinct and poorly defined. The first finger is reduced, the other fingers have tips that are at most slightly expanded. The first toe is partly fused with the second. The toe tips are rounded or expanded into small discs. No digital webbing is present. The dorsum is dark brown with various darker or paler patterns; a pale mid-vertebral stripe is present.[2]
The male advertisement call is a single, short "bleat" consisting of 5–6 notes. The call interval is about 5–7 seconds. The dominant frequency is 4220–4960 Hz.[2]
The type series was collected from the transition zone between Nothofagus-dominated vegetation with a rather open understorey and a denser, higher-altitude moss forest at 2,000 m (6,600 ft) above sea level.[1][2] The specimens were found calling from within leaf litter on the forest floor.[2] Development is presumably direct (i.e., there is no free-living larval stage[5]), as in other species in the genus.[1]
Threats to this species are unknown. It is not known to occur in any protected areas.[1]

Choerophryne allisoni est une espèce d'amphibiens de la famille des Microhylidae[1].
Cette espèce est endémique de la province des Hautes-Terres méridionales en Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée. De découverte récente, elle n'est connue que dans sa localité type, sur le mont Sisa, à environ 2 000 m d'altitude[1],[2].
Choerophryne allisoni mesure environ 11 à 12 mm. Son dos est brun foncé tacheté de blanc sur les côtés et comportant quelques taches rougeâtres[3].
Son nom d'espèce, allisoni, lui a été donné en référence à Allen Allison, zoologiste américain en reconnaissance de sa contribution à l'herpétologie de la Nouvelle Guinée[3].
