The southern corroboree frog (Pseudophryne corroboree) is a species of Australian ground frog native to southeastern Australia.[2][3]
The species was described in 1953 by Fulbright research scholar John A. Moore from a specimen collected at Towong Hill Station at Corryong, Victoria, and sent to the Australian Museum. The curator, Roy Kinghorn, recognised it as a new species and allowed Moore to describe it.[4]
