Litoria jungguy
+ 43 kb Litoria jungguy
Distribution and habitat
Similar species
Newly described in 2004, L. jungguy was previously considered part of the L. lesueuri species group. It may be distinguished from Litoria lesueuri by distribution and by the posterior coloring of the thigh - L. jungguy has white or cream spots on an otherwise black surface, while L. lesueuri has blue spots on a black backing. Spots may range from small and round to irregularly-shaped and -sized. L. jungguy also resembles the newly redesignated species Litoria wilcoxi, also a former member of the L. lesueuri complex, but distinction between the two species may only be made with certainty by chromosome and allozyme profiles.
