Litoria longicrus is part of the species-group L. bicolor, which was created to accommodate 7 species from the region that had characteristics in common.
The other members of the group are: Litoria cooloolensis and Litoria fallax in Australia; Litoria bicolor in Austrália and Papua New Guine; Litoria bibonius, Litoria contrastens and Litoria mystax in Papua New Guine. [3]
