Comment
See Hosmer, 1962, Am. Mus. Novit., 2077: 1, and Shea and Johnston, 1988, Trans. R. Soc. S. Aust., 112: 29-37, for accounts and discussion. See Barker, Grigg, and Tyler, 1995, Field Guide Aust. Frogs., Ed. 2, for keys and accounts. Frost, Grant, Faivovich, Bain, Haas, Haddad, de Sá, Channing, Wilkinson, Donnellan, Raxworthy, Campbell, Blotto, Moler, Drewes, Nussbaum, Lynch, Green, and Wheeler, 2006, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 297, considered Notaden to be the sister taxon of Opisthodon (now Platyplectrum) + Lechriodus. Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 543-583, confirmed the monophyly of the group and provided a tree of their molecular exemplars, but suggested a close relationship to Neobatrachus.
