Species
Assa is a genus of frog in the family Myobatrachidae. These frogs are endemic to a few parts of eastern Australia. Both species are found on a few mountains in Queensland and New South Wales. For a significant portion of time, the only species in this genus was the pouched frog (A. darlingtoni). However, a second species, A. wollumbin, was described in 2021 following a rangewide genetic survey of A. darlingtoni. Both species are notable in that the males have subcutaneous pouches on their hips in which they carry their tadpoles until they metamorphosize.
