Ranoidea bella is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae, first found in Cape York Peninsula in Queensland, Australia. The species is most similar to R. gracilenta and R. chloris , but can be distinguished from its cogeners by having a large male body size (between 34.5 to 41.8 millimetres (1.36 to 1.65 in)), a "near-immaculate" green dorsum, an orange venter, its bright orange-coloured digits and webbing, the purple lateral surfaces of its thighs, by lacking a canthal stripe, its white bones, and a single-note male advertisement call. It inhabits rainforest and monsoon vine thicket near water. [1] [2]
