doubt it, was a good distance from any houses in a very out of the way area.

 

[hornet]

possibly variant of P.major or new population of P. covacevichae

 

[JasonL]

It's P. major.

 

[Mark Newton]

It's P. major.

I think you are right - well done.

 

[hornet]

cheers

got an email from mike tyler, he said its certainly a red-crowned toadlet.

 

[Brettix]

Cool great find,and out of its area.

 

[Australis]

It is, it isnt, it is, it isnt.... i cant keep up..!

 

[Nephrurus]

It's a P. major.......

Perhaps he meant to say "It's certainly NOT a P. australis."

 

[jack]

it is major, it has two "eyebrows" as opposed to a distinct monobrow behind the more vivid head of australis, also the australis i have caught (a long way south i admit) have a distinct blue on the legs and the four legs have a white/cream armband, not the yellow yours has...
well that my opinion anyway, its hard to argue with m.tyler

 

[Macca]

It certainly appears to be P.major. Good find. Judging by the colour of your hands, you've spent a hard day herping.

 

[hornet]

he did say it certainly is the red crowned toadlet. Discussing it further with him

 

[tnarg]

It is certainly not a red crowned toadlet, it is Pseud. major. Look at my avatar that is a red crown. The frog in your pic lacks the white armpits (it has yellow like p. major does) and the red "crown" is not distinct enough from the rest of the body. Good find though, I would really like to see P. major.

 

[hornet]

mike said its 100% red-crowned toadlet but i'm thinking he's using tha common name for another species as he said brisbane is in their natural range so possibly he does mean P. major

 

[Australis]

You mean he didn't give you the Latin name?
