Comment
Confused with Litoria jervisiensis in earlier literature. In the Litoria ewingii complex of Barker, Grigg, and Tyler, 1995, Field Guide Aust. Frogs., Ed. 2: 82. See brief account by Tyler and Knight, 2009, Field Guide Frogs Aust.: 40–41. Mahony, Moses, Mahony, Lemckert, and Donnellan, 2020, Zootaxa, 4858: 201–230, assigned the former southern populations to the new species, Litoria watsoni and provided a comparison of calls and morphology, beyond the molecular differences. Cutajar, Portway, Gillard, and Rowley, 2022, Tech. Rep. Aust. Mus. Online, 36: 27, provided a polygon distribution map.
