Comment
In the Litoria gracilenta group and prior to its naming confused with Litoria gracilenta according to the original publication. Menzies, 2006, Frogs New Guinea & Solomon Is.: 107, provided a brief account for this species which he included in his Litoria gracilenta complex. Shea and Kraus, 2007, Zootaxa, 1514: 37-60, commented on the paratypes. Kraus, 2010, Herpetol. Rev., 41: 246-248, provided a range extension.
