According to Duellman <i>et al</i>. (2016), ‘the generic name is the Latin noun ‘ <i>litoris</i> ’ meaning shore. Inasmuch as Tschudi’s (1838) description was based on material he observed in Paris that was plundered from a British ship leaving Australia, he may have assumed that the frog lived near the shore’. Meagher (2013) also notes the potential for a derivation from the coastline [stating the formation of <i>litoris</i> as being from Greek, as with all other Tschudi generic names: Λῑτός (<i>litos</i>, which he translated as shore, although it actually means simple) and ὅΡος (<i>oros</i>, boundary)], but also suggests potential for the name being derived from the Greek ‘simple’ in allusion to the appearance of the frog. However, it is also possible that Duméril and Bibron were partially correct with their first suggestion, with a derivation from the Greek for stone potentially relating to the mottled brown coloration and rough skin texture of the species. Whatever the origin, assuming a derivation from Greek [either <i>lithos</i> or <i>litos</i>, Latinized with the addition of the suffix – <i>ia</i>, determines the gender as feminine (Article 30.1.3)].</p><p><i>Remarks: Litoria</i> comprises the <i>Litoria coplandi</i>, <i>L. freycineti</i>, <i>L. latopalmata</i>, and <i>L. nigrofrenata</i> Groups of Tyler and Davies (1978).</p> |
