Biology:Mahonabatrachus
From HandWiki
Mahonabatrachus is a genus of tree frogs in the family Pelodryadidae.[1] These frogs are native to northern Australia and southern New Guinea. Species in the genus were previously included within the wastebasket genus Litoria, but were separated into a new genus in 2025. They are very small-to-small sized frogs that exhibit many shades of greys, browns or reds.[2]
The genus is named for Professor Michael Mahony in recognition for his work on Australian frogs [2].
