Comment
For discussion see Tyler, 1968, Zool. Verh., Leiden, 96: 157. In the Litoria becki group of Tyler and Davies, 1978, Aust. J. Zool., Suppl. Ser., 27 (63): 14. Menzies, 2006, Frogs New Guinea & Solomon Is.: 139, provided a brief account and considered this species to be in his Litoria pratti group and who also implied that the Wendessi locality was not assignable to this species.
