The Northern New Guinea tree frog (Nytimystes gramineus) is a type of tree frog. It lives in the country of Papua New Guinea.

This frog is known for living high up in trees. It is a canopy-dwelling frog. This means it spends its life among the top branches and leaves of tall trees.

Scientists sometimes change their minds about how to group animals. For a while, some scientists thought a frog called Litoria dux was a different species. But now, many scientists believe Litoria dux is actually the same species as Litoria graminea.
