Source-derived summary

The Kimberley froglet (Crinia fimbriata) is an Australian froglet found on the Mitchell Plateau in the north-west region of the Kimberley Mountains in Western Australia.

As part of National Science Week 2010, the froglet was listed as one of Australia's Top 10 New Species of new Australian species discovered in 2009.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Kimberley froglet” as species of amphibian. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical orientation to terminology and classification, particularly when read beside dated observations, specimens or technical literature. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2010, 2009—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Kimberley, froglet and species can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the science & nature register because the source frames it as species of amphibian. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2275388. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2010 and 2009.

Critical limits

A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
