See Czechura, Ingram, and Liem, 1987, Rec. Aust. Mus., 39: 333-338, for discussion of systematics (as Nyctimystes dayi). See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 264, within which M. Cunningham noted that two divergent genetic lineages exist.
