One of these was the robust bleating tree frog (L. dentata sensu stricto), another was the slender bleating tree frog (L. balatus), and last was the screaming tree frog (L. quiritatus). The screaming tree frog has the longest call out of the three species, lacks a white line along its side, and the male turns yellow during breeding season. [4 ...
The species within the genus Litoria are extremely variable in appearance, behaviour, and habitat.The smallest species is the javelin frog (L. microbelos), reaching a maximum snout–to–vent length of 1.6 cm (0.6 in), [1] [2] while the largest, the giant tree frog (L. infrafrenata), reaches a size of 13.5–14 cm (5.3–5.5 in).
One of these was the robust bleating tree frog (L. dentata sensu stricto), another was the slender bleating tree frog (L. balatus), and last was the screaming tree frog (L. quiritatus). The slender bleating tree frog has the shortest call out of the three species, has a more slender build than the other two, a white line extending down its side ...
The bleating tree frog of Australia has been split into three distinct species: Screaming tree frog ( Litoria quiritatus ), from northeastern Victoria to mid-coast New South Wales Robust bleating tree frog ( Litoria dentata sensu stricto ), from northeastern New South Wales to the NSW/Queensland border
Two new species were described from north and south of L. dentata's range: the slender bleating tree frog (L. balatus) to the north and the screaming tree frog (L. quiritatus) to the south. This significantly reduced the known range for L. dentata, although it is known to still be a common and adaptable species. [3] [4] [5]

“I spent a huge amount of time waiting at night beside tree holes in rain, hail and (moon)shine, for frogs to emerge,” the lead researchers said. Five new treefrog species — including a poo ...
The species is very similar to Littlejohn's tree frog; the main distinguishing characteristic is the breeding call of the males, with Watson's tree frog uttering fewer pulses in each note (with a mean of 22.8 per second as compared to 27.8) for a call length of 3–12 seconds. The call has been described as "wriiik wriiik wriik wriik". [2]
