Updating the Australian Treefrogs
Family Pelodryadidae

Chlorohyla xanthomera, formerly of the genera Litoria and Ranoidea

In 2025, a new phylogeny and taxonomic structure was published for the Australian Treefrogs.  This new arrangement split what were a few genera up into 30+ genera.  The net effect for me was I "lost" two genera and gained ten new ones.  This means a lot of my frog blog entries are using outdated taxonomy.  

Getting this up to date is going to take some time, so I thought I would make myself a new lifelist, more as a "to do" list as anything else. 

So my recording lifelist is now at 142 species, in 56 genera, and 15 families.
