See Moore, 1961, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 121: 275. In the Litoria rubella group of Tyler and Davies, 1978, Aust. J. Zool., Suppl. Ser., 27 (63): 41. See brief account by Tyler and Knight, 2009, Field Guide Frogs Aust.: 32–33. Plenderleith, Smith, Donnellan, Reina, and Chapple, 2015, PLoS One, 10 (e0126287): 1–14, reported the introduced population on Lord Howe Island, Australia. Rowley, Mahony, Hines, Myers, Price, Shea, and Donnellan, 2021, Zootaxa, 5071: 1–41, revised the diagnosis and range, along with the naming of Litoria balatus and Litoria quiritatus from within the former range of nominal Litoria rubella; calls, morphology, and molecular markers were detailed. Cutajar, Portway, Gillard, and Rowley, 2022, Tech. Rep. Aust. Mus. Online, 36: 25, provided a polygon distribution map.
