Pseudophryne.

P. australis. East coast.

One of the smallest frogs known, with bright scarlet markings on the head and back; black and white marbled below. The scarlet spots turn white in spirits. Pound in moist localities under logs and stones; never in swamps or lagoons. A much larger variety occurs near Lake Macquarie of a bright red colour above, black and white marbled below.

P. Bibronii. East coast.

Coloration more uniform than in the previous species, with no broad marks but only a few yellow spots on the back.
