A new fossil species of frog of the Australian limnodynastid genus Limnodynastes Fitzinger from the Oligocene Kangaroo Well Local Fauna of the Northern Territory and tabulation of ilial features of all extant and extinct species

A new species of frog, Limnodynastes waterhousae, has been identified from the Oligocene Kangaroo Well Local Fauna in the Northern Territory, Australia. This discovery adds to the understanding of ancient frog diversity and evolution in Australia. The research describes the proximal portions of a left and right ilium as key material for this new species, which shares similarities with L. antecessor from Riversleigh, Queensland. Additionally, the study provides a comprehensive tabulation of ilial features across all 30 extant and extinct Australian frog genera, offering valuable comparative data for future research.
