## Summary

The western desert tree frog (Colleeneremia larisonans) is a species of tree frog in the family Pelodryadidae, endemic to the arid and coastal regions of central western Australia. It is primarily found in dry habitats, though in the most arid parts of its distribution, it is restricted to ranges or larger rivers. It breeds in mostly still water, mainly flooded areas and ponds. 
The western desert tree frog is highly variable in colour: usually during the heat of the day they are a light grey to prevent water loss, but at night ranges from grey to brown to brick red. It is indistinguishable from its closest relatives…
