Carbine barred frog
species of amphibian
The Carbine barred frog (Mixophyes carbinensis), or Carbine frog, is a species of large frog that is endemic to Australia.
Description
The species grows to about 80 mm in length (SVL). Colouration is brown on the back, with darker patches and a longitudinal dark stripe; the belly is white; the male has an orange and grey throat. The fingers are unwebbed; the toes are webbed.
Behaviour
Eggs are laid in stream pools in tropical rainforest, and are then kicked out of the water by the female to stick to solid surfaces, such as rock faces, above the pools. The tadpoles then drop into the water after hatching.
Distribution and habitat
The species occurs only on the Carbine and Windsor Tablelands in the Wet Tropics of north-eastern Queensland.

Why this record matters
“Carbine barred frog” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Carbine, barred and frog provides the most credible route into that argument.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4664895. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
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.
