[1] The alpine tree frog is restricted to the southern alps of New South Wales and Victoria.

L. v. alpina, though, has a very restricted range and has suffered significant declines in population; it is currently listed as endangered.

L. v. alpina is mostly green on the dorsal surface with two brown bands running parallel to each other down the back.

Verreaux's tree frog inhabits swamps, dam impoundments, and creeks in woodland, farmland, forest and cleared land.

Chytrid fungus is believed to be partly responsible for the decline of the alpine subspecies.
