TYLER occurs commonly amongst vegetation in damp situations near static or flowing water, but is adept at avoiding periods of temporary drought. For example, in the arid north-east of South Australia the frogs spend the day within fissures in the soil, emerging at night to feed. Throughout its range the species tends to be an opportunistic breeder, spawning most commonly in static water. In south- eastern Australia three call races of L. tasmaniensis are recognised (Loftus-Hills, 1973; Littlejohn and Roberts, 1975; R

Geographic Distribution Limnodynastes tasmaniensis occurs in an arc from the Eyre Peninsula of South Australia to northern Queensland (Fig. 1). Moore (1961) listed a specimen from Somerset at the northern extremity of Cape York Peninsula, but Cogger (1975) indicates the northern limit to be near Townsville, and we have adopted that modification FIG. 1.—The distribution of Limnodynastes tasmaniensis in Australia. The distribution is based on Cogger (1975), Roberts (1976) and unpublished data; the position of the Kununurra isolate is shown by an arrow. 322 Aust. Zool. 19(3), 1978.
