Four species of hylid and leptodactylid frogs are reported from the Tertiary (mid-Miocene) Ngapakaldi fauna of the Etadunna Formation at Lake Palankarinna, South Australia. The species comprise Limnodynastes archeri sp. nov., Litoria sp. cf. caerulea (White), Litoria sp. indet. and Australobatrachus ilius Tyler. Previously the extant genera Limnodynastes and Litoria have been known only from Quaternary deposits. |
