Litoria scabra | |
Litoria scabra is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae. It is endemic to Western New Guinea (Indonesia). [1] [3] [4]
Litoria scabra is currently only known from its type locality in the Wapoga River headwaters at an elevation of 1,070 m (3,510 ft) above sea level. [1] [3] It lives in and near fast-flowing streams. While its known range is very limited, it lives in a region with large areas of suitable habitat that are not under significant threat. [1]
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).
Beck's tree frog is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae. 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.
Litoria havina is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae. It is found in New Guinea.
Litoria pratti, commonly known as Pratt's tree frog, is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae. It is endemic to the Vogelkopf Peninsula, West Papua, Indonesia, where the type series was collected. There are no confirmed records of this species after it was first recorded, so very little information exists on it.
Leptopelis macrotis, sometimes called the big-eyed forest tree frog, is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is found in the rainforests of Sierra Leone, southern Guinea, Liberia, Ivory Coast, and southern Ghana. Notice that similar common name "big-eyed tree frog" is sometimes used for Leptopelis vermiculatus from Tanzania and for Litoria exophthalmia from New Guinea.
Oreophryne atrigularis is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Western New Guinea (Indonesia) and known from its type locality, the Wondiwoi Mountains at the base of the Wandammen Peninsula, and from another location further east between Nabire and Mapia.
Oreophryne wapoga is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Western New Guinea (Indonesia) and is known from its type locality, the headwaters of the Wapoga River, and from the island of Papua (province), both in the Papua province. The Yapen population might represent a separate species.

Litoria humboldtorum is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae of the family Hylidae. It is endemic to the Papua Province of Indonesia, and found on Yapen Island as well as on the foothills of the Foja Mountains in the mainland New Guinea. The specific name refers to Alexander von Humboldt, Wilhelm von Humboldt, Humboldt University of Berlin, and its Museum für Naturkunde.
Ranoidea is a genus of frogs in the subfamily Pelodryadinae. They are found in Australia, New Guinea, and two nearby groups of islands: the Maluku Islands, and the Louisiade Archipelago. The circumscription of this taxon is still controversial.
