Prior to the revision of 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, placed in the Section Hylarana, subsection Hydrophylax, subgenus Papurana of Dubois, 1992, Bull. Mens. Soc. Linn. Lyon, 61: 324. See Menzies, 1992, Sci. New Guinea, 18: 119, for discussion of distribution in New Guinea. Removed from the synonymy of Rana papua by Boulenger, 1914, Trans. Zool. Soc. London, 20: XXX, where it had been placed by Boulenger, 1882, Cat. Batr. Sal. Coll. Brit. Mus., Ed. 2: 64. See account by Boulenger, 1920, Rec. Indian Mus., 20: 190. Günther, 2003, Faun. Abh. Staatl. Mus. Tierkd., Dresden, 24: 215, discussed the range and provided new records. Kraus and Allison, 2007, Herpetol. Monogr., 21: 33-75, provided an account. See comment under Hylarana milneana. See brief account by Tyler and Knight, 2009, Field Guide Frogs Aust.: 126-127. Kraus, 2010, Herpetol. Rev., 41: 246-248, provided the record for New Hanover Island, New Ireland Province, Papua New Guinea.
