[3][4][5][6][7] The rough frog was originally described as Cyclorana verrucosus by Tyler and Martin in 1997,[2][3] and later placed in the genus Litoria.

[6][1][4] Males sound mating calls that resemble a long moaning growl.

[9] Very little data exists regarding reproduction of the Rough Frog, however it is conserved to be similar to Litoria cultripes, in which eggs are laid in large clumps under the surface of water in temporary ponds, swamps or roadside ditches.

[6] Larvae are free swimming, tadpoles can grow as long as 7.5 cm being a dull gold/white in colour.

Fragmentation of population is limited, but there is a continuing decline is area and quality of habitat.

[1] Agriculture and aquaculture including annual and perennial non-timber crops are identified as threats to the rough frog.

[1] Direct human impact, urbanisation, tourism and inappropriate catchment management, including the degradation of water quality are also threats to the persistence of this species.
