The spawn is definitely that of a Lymnodynastes, however the taddies are not that easy to id- have been hoping for an ID course with Marion Anstis for years but so far no luck
will check in my book when I am in the office next

Hi there
thanks for your patience
Studying Marian Anstis book is mind boggling! If we are sure that this sis a Limnodynastes, and it looks like one, then it is very likely Lim tas - due to the position of the eyes and nostrils and the dorsal pigmentation/pattern, which is not present in either Lim dum or Lim per.
