What does everyone think about this little fella? I wont give a location yet and just say it was found in QLD.

Micah,
Pull your head in. Have you herped around this area or are you basing your information from books only? I suggested lalliae as I have seen them on the qld side of the border. As for your taxonomic considerations....well there is a really simple way to Id the animal in question it is Diporophora sp.

Also Micah, animals dont take notice of state boundaries or distribution maps. [/hbQUOTE]
Yeah I know.
I guess all distribution maps are rough estimates some animals are restricted in distribution to a certain areas and quite specific micro/macro habitat that are only found in certain areas (the distribution maps for those would be more accurate than widespread sp) while others are widespread and migrating to different areas.

Some of the records on there are inaccurate eg Blotched Bluetongue records around the centre of SA and WA much different habitats to what blotched bluetongues require. I think the lallaie records (one in Qld 2 on the board line of NT and QLD) could be more accurate (well more accurate to the nigrolutea map).I see on the Atlas of Living Australia there is a record of D. lalliae not to far away.
