The Cooloola sedge frog or Cooloola tree frog (Litoria cooloolensis) is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae.
It is endemic to Australia and only known from Fraser and North Stradbroke Islands, off south-eastern Queensland.[1][2]
Habitat[edit]
It inhabits sandy coastal and island freshwater lakes and wallum creeks, with a preference for dense reed beds. It is threatened by water extraction and pollution and by tramping of the reef beds. It occurs in the Great Sandy National Park.[1]
Description[edit]
This amphibian's back is yellowish green, speckled with dark spots, and the hidden surfaces of its thighs are orange with a purple-brown stripe.[3] The belly is grainy and white in color.[4]
L. cooloolensis, like other members of the genus Litoria, has horizontal irises.
Taxonomy[edit]
Litoria cooloolensis is part of the species-group L. bicolor, which was created to accommodate 7 species from the region that had characteristics in common.
The other members of the group are: Litoria fallax in Australia; Litoria bicolor in Austrália and Papua New Guine; Litoria bibonius, Litoria contrastens, Litoria longicrus and Litoria mystax in Papua New Guine.[5]
