The frog is similar in appearance to a cogenor, Litoria moorei, bearing dark green or brownish patches with bronze or gold highlights on its back; this species can be differentiated by the numerous yellowish spots on the underside of the rear legs. Males may be up to 65 mm, females to 85 mm. It is commonly called spotted-thighed treefrog; the name Copland's rock frog is sometimes mistakenly applied to this species (it is actually Litoria coplandi). The feet are unwebbed and have a prominent disc at the toes. |
