Comment
In the Litoria gracilenta group and prior to its naming and confused with Litoria gracilenta according to the original publication. Menzies, 2006, Frogs New Guinea & Solomon Is.: 105-106, provided a brief account for this species which he included in his Litoria gracilenta complex. Kraus, 2010, Herpetol. Rev., 41: 246-248, provided a range extension to Central Province and discussed the diagnosis from Litoria kumae.
