Map showing the type and only known locality for Litoria stellarum sp. nov. (yellow square) and localities for morphologically and genetically confirmed specimens of the similar L. becki (blue circles). The blue arrow indicates the type locality of L. becki. There are additional specimens referred to Litoria becki in museum collections that we have not examined, but this species has historically been confused with other torrent-breeding Litoria so we do not include these records on this map.
