Comment
Removed from the synonymy of Litoria eucnemis by Wells and Wellington, 1985, Aust. J. Herpetol., Suppl. Ser., 1: 6 (without comment), , where it had been placed by Loveridge, 1935, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., 78: 7, 40; Tyler and Watson, 1986, Trans. R. Soc. S. Aust., 110: 193-194. Richards, McDonald, and Ingram, 1993, Mem. Queensland Mus., 34: 94, regarded Litora serrata to be a junior synonym of Litoria genimaculata. Richards, Hoskin, Cunningham, McDonald, and Donnellan, 2010, Zootaxa, 2391: 33-46, resurrected Litoria serrata from the synonymy of Litoria genimaculata for the Australian population on the basis of morphology, call, allozymes, and mtDNA and noted that it is composed of two lineages. Bell, MacKenzie, Hickerson, Chavarría, Cunningham, Williams, and Moritz, 2012, Proc. R. Soc. London, Ser. B, Biol. Sci., 279: 991–999, reported on molecular phylogeography. Cutajar, Portway, Gillard, and Rowley, 2022, Tech. Rep. Aust. Mus. Online, 36: 31, provided a polygon distribution map (as Litoria serrata).
