Researchers With the University of Newcastle and University of Adelaide as well as the Queensland Museum have described a new species of barred frog from New South Wales, Australia that was once thought to be a single species.
The new species, Mixophyes australis is closely related to Mixophyes balbus, the Stuttering Frog. Genome testing determined that Mixophyes balbus, which hails from the North, is genetically different from Mixophyes australis, which lives in South and Central new South Wales to the East Gippsland in Victoria.
The frog grows to just under 3 inches in length, is copper bronze in coloration and sports large eyes with a black line that runs from just above the snout to the back of the jaw. The legs are barred and the back shows irregular spots.
