range_map_caption = Distribution of the Pearson's Green Tree FrogThe Pearson's Tree Frog, ("Litoria pearsoniana") is a species of tree frog that inhabits rainforest creeks in from north of Lismore, New South Wales to Kenilworth, Queensland with a disjunct population at Kroombit Tops QLD, Australia.
Taxonomy
The Mountain Stream Tree Frog, ("Litoria barringtonensis") may be conspecific to the Pearson's Green Tree Frog, ("Litoria pearsoniana"). Morphological differences have not been fully studied yet, however visible physical differences between frogs from Barrington Tops and Dorrigo, New South Wales in comparison to frogs from south-eastern Queensland and northern NSW are discussed in a key on the Leaf Green Tree Frog page. These are representative of frogs described as "L. barringtonensis" and "L. pearsoniana".
Physical Description

Ecology & Behaviour
This species inhabits flowing creeks in rainforests and wet scleophyll forest in highland and coastal areas. Males call from creek side vegetation during spring and summer. The call is an eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-ehk, with the 'eh's getting faster towards the end of the call, almost forming a trill.
The taxonomy of this species and the Mountain Stream Tree Frog is currently under review.
Conservation status
It is listed as "Near Threatened" on the IUCN Red List, but under Queensland's Nature Conservation Act 1992, it is considered "Endangered".
