Remarks: For depositories of type series, see account under PNGM types. Paratypes 3588-89 and 4824 not found. UPNG 1054, with attached label, was found in a jar labelled 1058, while UPNG 1058 was found in a different jar. Paratypes 1546 (Olsobip, Western Province, PNG (J. Menzies, 14.vii.1969)), 2081-82, 2092 (Baiyer River, West Highland Province, PNG (J. Menzies, 18.v.1970)) and 2781 (Bolivip, 5400ft, Western Province, PNG (Schiefen, 5.i.1971)) noted in UPNG register as sent to AMNH. UPNG 1546 is now AMNH A84567 View Materials (but registered as from Imigabip (J. Menzies, 14.vii.1969)); UPNG 2081 is now AMNH A84564; UPNG 2092 is now AMNH A84565; UPNG 2781 is now AMNH A84569 View Materials ; UPNG 2082 is not able to be identified among AMNH material, but the latter collection does have UPNG 2080 (now AMNH A84571 View Materials ) (L. Ford, pers. comm.). Paratypes listed by Menzies as 2588-89 from southeast PNG are incorrectly cited - these numbers apply to Litoria timida ; it is not clear what the correct numbers are. Paratypes 1058, 3230 and 3232 were each cited twice in the list of specimens examined (1058 as both male and female; 3230 and 3232 as both from Central Highlands and Southeast PNG; the latter is correct); it is not clear whether these are all erroneous repetitions, or typographical errors for other specimens - all three numbers are parts of series of Rana . Menzies cited the holotype data as small tributary on Mai-U River, ca 80m, foot of Mt Suckling, PNG (J.I. Menzies, vi.1972). Holotype faded, illustrated in Günther (2003: fig. 6); paratypes generally in good condition. Paratypes at BPBM consist of two or three species; those in UPNG also consist of more than one species (Kraus & Allison, submitted).
