Description: We describe the tadpole of Litoria multiplica from Papua New Guinea. It is readily distinguished from other Litoria tadpoles known from New Guinea by its distinctive pigment patterns consisting of bold black or dark brown stripes with scattered gold iridophores in the intervening pale areas. The oral disc is located ventrally and is completely surrounded by small papillae, adaptations for adherence to rocks in small streams where rapid increases in water flow are a common occurrence.
