Litoria lodesdema is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae, endemic to New Guinea.[2][3][1]
The adult male frog is yellow-green in color and measures about 22 mm in snout-vent length. It has a bronze or yellow stripe. These frogs have some webbing on their front feet and more webbing on their hind feet.[2]
These frogs have been observed laying eggs in a roadside marsh.[2]
The scientists who first described Litoria lodesdema named it from the Latin phrase loca demissa septentrionalis domicilium habemus or "in the lowlands of the north we have our home".[2]
