The Australian green tree frog (Ranoidea caerulea/Litoria caerulea), also known as simply green tree frog in Australia, White's tree frog, or dumpy tree frog, is a species of tree frog native to Australia and New Guinea, with introduced populations in the United States and New Zealand, though the latter is believed to have died out.

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).
However, in 2016 Duellman and colleagues split Litoria into several genera. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The systematic and taxonomic conclusions based on Duellman et al. [ 2 ] should be treated with caution, because 78.9% of individuals (397/503) used in the concatenated analyses had less than half of the gene sequences available for the 19 genes used.
It is likely that White's tree frog (Litoria caerulea) migrated from Australia to New Guinea, as it is widespread in Australia and only inhabits small areas within New Guinea. Whereas the giant tree frog ( Litoria infrafrenata ) is likely from New Guinea, as it is widespread in New Guinea, and only inhabits the Cape York Peninsula in Australia.
Ranoidea mira, also known as the chocolate frog, is a species of tree frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae, and is part of the Ranoidea caerulea species complex. [1] [2] It was discovered in New Guinea by a research team led by Griffith University. [3] [4] [5]
