Formerly in the Litoria aurea group of Tyler and Davies, 1978, Aust. J. Zool., Suppl. Ser., 27 (63): 12. Maxson, Tyler, and Maxson, 1982, Aust. J. Zool., 30: 643, and Boontheung, Gao, Brinkworth, Bowie, and Tyler, 2006, Trans. R. Soc. S. Aust., 130: 1–9, suggested a close relationships to Cyclorana. See Moore, 1961, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat.
