Papurana daemeli is a species of "true frog", family Ranidae. It is found in New Guinea, northern Australia, and some smaller islands (Yapen, New Hanover Island, New Britain).[1][2] It is the only ranid frog found in Australia.[3] In Australia, the species is restricted to the rainforest of northern Queensland and the eastern border of Arnhem Land, in the Northern Territory. In Australia, it is usually known as wood frog[4][5][6] (though in North America this would refer to Lithobates sylvaticus) or sometimes as water frog.[4] Other vernacular names are Australian wood frog, Australian bullfrog, and Arnhem rana.[1][2]
