. Bonner zoologische Monographien. Zoology. 182 Rhacodactylus australis reaches a maximum SVL of 120 mm (Cogger 1986 — largest specimen measured by author 112 mm QM J38327). It is chiefly arboreal and its habitat has been described as woodland and open forest (Cogger et al. 1983) heaths, monsoon forest, woodland and mangrove (Covacevich & Ingram 1980). Specimens have been col- lected in hollows of Melaleuca cajuputi (Cogger 1975). It is primarily an arthropod feeder.

Rhacodactylus (Pseudothecadactylus) cavaticus Cogger, 1975 1975 Pseudothecadactylus lindneri cavaticus Cogger. 30: 93; figs. 5—6. Type locality: near Mitchell River Falls, approx. 25 km SW of Crystal Head, Port War- render (approx. 14 °40'S, 125 °42'E), Western AustraHa. Holotype: WAM R43176. Diagnosis: No inscriptional ribs; no co-ossification of skull; mouth and tongue pink in life; ear opening large; dorsal scalation heterogeneous; preanal pores absent; dorsum with broad light bands with Hghter centers. (78, 92). Comments: Rhacodactylus cavaticus is known only from the coastal region of the Kimberleys, (Fig. 89) where it occurs in association with caves and crevices of sandstone formations (Cogger 1983). I have not examined specimens of this form but consistent differences in morphology suggested by the description (Cogger 1975a) seem to warrent the recognition of this taxon at the specific level.
