Is the mystery solved?

The Limnodynastes tasmainiensis ( Spotted-grass frog) was thought to have been introduced into the NT via transportable buildings brought to lake Argyle. The Limnodynastes depressus (Flat-headed frog) was then 'rediscovered' at Keep River National Park. The two species are very similar but cannot interbree (tyler). This wetseason it is hoped we will finally clear up this mystery and determine if tasmainiensis is here at all. We also need to find out the range of depressus.
