Litoria is a genus of Pelodryadidae tree frogs native to Australia, the Bismarck Archipelago, the Solomon Islands, New Guinea, the Lesser Sunda Islands, and the Moluccan Islands. It is the only genus in the monotypic subfamily Litoriinae and are sometimes collectively referred to as Australasian treefrogs. They are distinguishable from other tree frogs by the presence of horizontal irises, no pigmentation of the eyelids, and their distribution east and south from Wallacea. Over 90 species are described, but several new species are described every year on average, such as the Pinocchio frog, discovered in 2008 and described in 2019.
The green and golden bell frog, also named the green bell frog, green and golden swamp frog and green frog, is a ground-dwelling tree frog native to eastern Australia. Despite its classification and climbing abilities, it does not live in trees and spends almost all of its time close to ground level. It can reach up to 11 cm (4.5 in) in length, making it one of Australia's largest frogs.
The eastern dwarf tree frog, also known as the eastern sedge-frog, is a small and very common tree frog found on the eastern coast of Australia, from around Cairns, Queensland, to around Ulladulla, New South Wales. Individual frogs of this species are often found elsewhere, having been accidentally relocated by transported fruit boxes. Confirmed sightings of breeding pairs have confirmed their survival in Victoria's cooler climate.
The Australian green tree frog, also known as simply green tree frog in Australia, White's tree frog, or dumpy tree frog, is a species of tree frog native to Australia and New Guinea, with introduced populations in the United States and New Zealand, though the latter is believed to have died out. It is morphologically similar to some other members of its genus, particularly the magnificent tree frog (R. splendida) and the white-lipped tree frog (R. infrafrenata).
Ranoidea chloris, commonly known as the red-eyed tree frog or orange-eyed tree frog, is a species of tree frog native to eastern Australia; ranging from south of Sydney to Proserpine in mid-northern Queensland.
The northern dwarf tree frog is a small species of tree frog native to northern Australia, from the Kimberly region of Western Australia to Bowen, Queensland, and Aru Islands of Indonesia. These small frogs are also commonly called sedge frogs. The population occurring in Indonesia may not be L. bicolor, and research on call structure or genetics is needed to confirm its taxonomic status.
The desert tree frog or little red tree frog is a tree frog native to Australia, southern New Guinea, and Timor. It is one of Australia's most widely distributed frogs, inhabiting northern Australia, including desert regions and much of temperate eastern Australia. It is one of the few Australian tree frogs to inhabit arid, tropical, and temperate climates.
Ranoidea verrucosa is an amphibian native to northern New South Wales and south-eastern Queensland, Australia. It is also classified under the genus of Cyclorana and Litoria and also known as the warty water-holding frog.
Beck's tree frog is a species of frogs in the family Pelodryadidae. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea. Its natural habitats are tropical moist montane forests, grasslands and streams. It was first described by the British biologist and herpetologist Arthur Loveridge in 1945 and is named in honour of the American ornithologist and explorer Rollo Beck who led the Whitney South Seas Expedition in the 1920s, collecting bird and other specimens from thousands of islands in the South Pacific.
Ranoidea brongersmai is a species of frog in the family Pelodryadidae. It is endemic to New Guinea and known from its type locality in the Snow Mountains, and according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, from another location in the Wapoga River headwaters some 100 km further west. Both sites are in Western New Guinea (Indonesia). Its range is probably broader than current knowledge suggests. The specific name brongersmai honours Leo Brongersma, a Dutch author and zoologist. Accordingly, common name Brongersma's treefrog has been proposed for it.
The green-eyed treefrog is a species of Australasian treefrog in the family Pelodryadidae that occurs in the Wet Tropics of Australia.
Nyctimystes purpureolatus is a species of frog in the family Pelodryadidae. It is endemic to New Guinea and is known from its type locality on the Tiri River, a small tributary of the Mamberamo River in West Papua, Indonesia, and from three locations in West Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea.
Litoria spartacus is a species of frogs in the family Pelodryadidae. It is endemic to New Guinea in Papua New Guinea and is only known from two localities within the Kikori Integrate Conservation and Development Project Area in the Southern Highlands Province. It has affinities to Litoria macki and Litoria spinifera but has a smaller size and more extensively webbed hands and less tuberculate body.
The montane Pinocchio frog is a frog from the island of New Guinea. Scientists saw it on Hides Ridge in the karstic area of the Southern Fold Mountains in Papua New Guinea. Like the Pinocchio frog, it has a protuberance on its snout that can grow or shrink.
Mareku's tree frog is a frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Indonesia. Scientists have seen it in the Wondiwoi Mountains in Papua Province.
Litoria hunti is a tree frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to northern Papua New Guinea. The New Guineans call it "Wowo." Scientists have only seen it in Utai, which is in Sanduan Province, but they think it lives in many other places on the island of New Guinea.
Litoria gasconi is a frog in the family Pelodryadidae. It is endemic to Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
Litoria chloristona is a frog in the family Pelodryadidae. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea. Scientists have observed it near the Kikori River, from sea level to 500 meters above sea level. The type locality is Port Essington in Australia.
Litoria christianbergmanni is a frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Indonesia and has been found in the Fakfak Mountains. Scientists reported it 860 meters above sea level.
Litoria sauroni is a tree frog in the family Pelodryadidae. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea. Scientists know it solely from the Kikori Integrate Conservation and Development Project area. Scientists disagree about whether this frog is best placed in the genus Litoria or Nyctimystes.
