Similar Species
This species is similar to other frogs in the Mixophys genus, particularly the Stuttering Frog (Mixophyes balbus) of which it can only be distinguished by the presence of mottling on the flanks. The Great Barred Frog (Mixophyes fasciolatus) and Giant Barred Frog (Mixophyes iterauts) also occur in the same area as this species. Eye colour is best used to distinguish them, as it is different in all 3 species.

Famous quotes containing the words similar and/or species:
“Our acceptance of an ontology is, I think, similar in principle to our acceptance of a scientific theory, say a system of physics; we adopt, at least insofar as we are reasonable, the simplest conceptual scheme into which the disordered fragments of raw experience can be fitted and arranged.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“The further our civilization advances upon its present lines so much the cheaper sort of thing does “fame” become, especially of the literary sort. This species of “fame” a waggish acquaintance says can be manufactured to order, and sometimes is so manufactured.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
