Leaf green tree frog

provided by wikipedia EN

Tadpole

The leaf green tree frog (Ranoidea phyllochroa) is a species of stream-dwelling frog, native to eastern Australia from the Queensland/New South Wales border south to Sydney.

Description

A specimen from the "hybrid zone" of the leaf green tree frog and southern leaf green tree frog showing physical characteristics of both species

This is a fairly small species of tree frog, up to about 40 mm (1.6 inches) in length. It can be light green to dark olive green to light brown to dark brown on the dorsal surface. A pale golden stripe runs from the nostril, across the eye, over the typanum, and down the side, underlined by a dark brown stripe, which also goes over the typanum, not across it. The forelimbs, groin, and thighs are dark red. The toes are three-quarters webbed and toe discs are large. The belly is white.

Ecology and behaviour

This species inhabits flowing streams in rainforest, woodland, and wet or dry sclerophyll forest along the coast and ranges of New South Wales. Males make an "Erk..Ek..Ek..Derk" call from stream-side vegetation during spring, summer and autumn, especially on warm nights; they are often seen in suburban creeks around Sydney and near the sea.

Key

This key distinguishes between the physical differences of the leaf green tree frog, southern leaf green tree frog and frogs that represent species described as Pearson's green tree frog and mountain stream tree frog. All of these species are very closely related and look similar. Their taxonomy species is under review.

Distribution:

R. barringtonensis - mid-north coast of NSW
R. nudidigitus - south of Sydney, NSW
R. phyllochroa - from Sydney to mid-north coast of NSW
R. pearsoniana - north-east NSW and south-east Qld

Dorsal surface

R. barringtonensis - black dots present, usually very distinct and many dots (see photo)
R. nudidigitus - no black dots present
R. phyllochroa - no black dots present
R. pearsoniana - black dots usually present (not as distinct and not as many as L. barringtonensis), although some specimens have none, or very few

Tympanum:

R. barringtonensis - distinct, no colouration
R. nudidigitus - indistinct, no colouration
R. phyllochroa - distinct, no colouration
R. pearsoniana - distinct, brown in colour

Shoulder and groin colouration:

R. barringtonensis - None present.
R. nudidigitus - red to black colouration (shoulder), red (groin)
R. phyllochroa - red-brown colouration (shoulder), red (groin)
R. pearsoniana - none present

Head stripe:

R. barringtonensis - light brown or yellow, passes over the tympanum
R. nudidigitus - gold with a black underline, passes over the tympanum
R. phyllochroa - gold with a dark brown underline, passes over the tympanum
R. pearsoniana - light brown with a thicker brown underline, passes through the tympanum

As a pet

It is kept as a pet; in Australia, this animal may be kept in captivity with the appropriate permit.

Litoria phyllochroa ( Spanish; Castilian )

provided by wikipedia ES

Litoria phyllochroa es una especie de anfibio anuro endémica del este de Australia. Mide alrededor 40 mm de longitud. Habita desde arroyos y selvas hasta bosques esclerófilos. También puede vivir en pueblos y ciudades.[1][2][3]

La hembra pone sus huevos en plantas debajo del agua. Los renacuajos crecen a ranas después de 12 semanas.[2]

Esta rana es verde oliva en color con una raya amarillo por cada lado de su cuerpo. Esta rana puede cambiar el color de su piel, de verde a casi negra en color para camuflarse.[3]

Los científicos solían pensar que Litoria nudidigita parte de esta especie. Más tarde, decidieron que eran dos especies diferentes porque tienen diferentes llamadas de apareamiento y viven en diferentes lugares.[4]
