Comment

In the Litoria eucnemis group of Tyler and Davies, 1978, Aust. J. Zool., Suppl. Ser., 27 (63): 24. See Tyler, 1968, Zool. Verh., Leiden, 96: 86. Richards, McDonald, and Ingram, 1993, Mem. Queensland Mus., 34: 94, discussed the distribution and diagnosis of this and other members of Litoria similar to Litoria eucnemis. See comment under Litoria genimaculata. Günther, 2003, Faun. Abh. Staatl. Mus. Tierkd., Dresden, 24: 209–216, provided a record for Yapen I., Papua, Indonesia. Menzies, 2006, Frogs New Guinea & Solomon Is.: 112, provided a brief account for this species which he included in his Litoria thesaurensis complex. See brief account by Tyler and Knight, 2009, Field Guide Frogs Aust.: 64–65. Richards, Hoskin, Cunningham, McDonald, and Donnellan, 2010, Zootaxa, 2391: 33–46, reported on the phylogenetics of the species and suggested that it is the sister taxon of Litoria serrata. Cutajar, Portway, Gillard, and Rowley, 2022, Tech. Rep. Aust. Mus. Online, 36: 25, provided a polygon distribution map for Australia (as Litoria eucnemis).
