Comment

Resurrected from the synonymy of Neobatrachus pictus by Roberts, 1978, Trans. R. Soc. S. Aust., 102: 104, where it had been placed by Fry, 1912, Rec. Aust. Mus., 9: 106; Nieden, 1923, Das Tierreich, 46: 528; and Loveridge, 1935, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., 78: 7. See brief account by Tyler and Knight, 2009, Field Guide Frogs Aust.: 90-91. Tyler, 1978, Amph. S. Aust.: 73-74, provided an account (as Neobatrachus centralis) as did Tyler and Doughty, 2009, Field Guide Frogs W. Aust., 4th ed.: 96. See brief account as Neobatrachus centralis by Tyler and Knight, 2009, Field Guide Frogs Aust.: 92-93. Roberts, 1997, Aust. J. Zool., 45: 95-112, suggested that this might be conspecific with Neobatrachus sudelli. Roberts, 2010, Rec. W. Aust. Mus., 25: 455-458, subsequently formalized this position.
