Ranoidea cyclorhyncha

A large species of frog reaching up to 11 cm in body length. It has a beige or pale brown back with large distinct green patches. The belly is brown with dark marbling.

The pupil is horizontal and the iris is gold. The armpits, groin, and thighs are black with pale yellow spots. Fingers are unwebbed and toes are nearly fully webbed, both with small discs.

This species was previously known as Litoria cyclorhyncha.

Occurs in and near swamps and other permanent water bodies.

Eggs have not been described, but are likely to be similar to those of Litoria moorei. Eggs are laid under the surface of the water in permanent swamps, ponds, dams, and sometimes abandoned quarries. Tadpoles can reach a total length of 8 cm, and are clear gold-yellow in colour. They often feed at the surface of water bodies, and take at least two and a half months to develop into frogs.

Breeds during spring and summer.

Looks very similar to Ranoidea moorei in its distribution, but has pale yellow spots on the armpits, groin, and thighs.
