Habitat and conservation
Litoria scabra is currently only known from its type locality in the Wapoga River headwaters at an elevation of 1,070 m (3,510 ft) above sea level.[1][3] It lives in and near fast-flowing streams. While its known range is very limited, it lives in a region with large areas of suitable habitat that are not under significant threat.[1]
