Papuahyla lodesdema is a frog from New Guinea.

The adult male frog is yellow-green in color and about 22 mm long from nose to rear end. It has a bronze or yellow stripe. These frogs have some webbing on their front feet and more webbing on their hind feet.

They have been seen laying eggs in a roadside marsh.

The scientists who first described (wrote the first formal paper about) Litoria lodesdema named it from the Latin phrase loca demissa septentrionalis domicilium habemus or "in the lowlands of the north we have our home."
