Pengilleyia Wells & Wellington, 1985: 5

( Fig. 28)

Type species: Litoria tyleri Martin, Watson, Gartside, Littlejohn & Loftus-Hills, 1979 , by original designation.

Content: Six species— Pengilleyia amboinensis * ( Horst, 1883) comb. nov., Pengilleyia darlingtoni * ( Loveridge, 1945) comb. nov., Pengilleyia everetti * ( Boulenger 1897b) comb. nov., Pengilleyia peronii * (Tschudi, 1938) , Pengilleyia rothii * ( De Vis, 1884) , Pengilleyia tyleri * (Martin, Watson, Gartside, Littlejohn & Loftus-Hill, 1979) .

Diagnosis: Pengilleyia can be diagnosed from Colleeneremia by large vs. small or medium body size, three vs. two slips of the m. extensor digitorum communis, a call type that has note repetition vs. densely pulsatile, and a call that is fully amplitude modulated vs. without full amplitude modulation. Refer to Tables 1 and 2.

Distribution and ecology: Arboreal frogs that breed in permanent ponds and flooded areas in forests, woodlands, and savannahs in eastern and northern Australia, New Guinea, and the Indonesian provinces of East Nusa Tenggara and Maluku.

Etymology: According to Wells and Wellington (1985), named for David Pengilley, in recognition of his interest in the effects of urbanization on herpetofauna. By their original inclusion of the feminine adjectival specific epithet serrata in the genus, Wells and Wellington treated the name as feminine (Article 30.2.3).

Remarks: Pengilleyia is the equivalent of the Litoria peronii Group of Tyler and Davies (1978).
