Amnirana
''Amnirana'' is a genus of frogs in the family Ranidae, "true frogs". The genus is primarily found in Sub-Saharan Africa, but one species occurs in parts of southern and southeastern Asia. Some of the African species are widespread but contain undescribed cryptic diversity. Most (but not all) species have a white upper lip, and the genus is sometimes known as the white-lipped frogs. Taxonomy ''Amnirana'' was originally introduced as a subgenus of ''Rana''. It was often included in the then-diverse genus ''Hylarana'', until Oliver and colleagues revised the genus in 2015, delimiting ''Hylarana'' more narrowly and elevating ''Amnirana'' to genus rank. Within the genus, '' Amnirana nicobariensis'' appears to be the sister taxon of the African clade of species, but the data are inconclusive. With more data available to resolve possible non-molecular synapomorphies of the genus, ''A. nicobariensis'' might become recognized as a separate genus. A later study suggested it to be close ...

Amnirana Albolabris
''Amnirana albolabris'' is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It is widely distributed in Sub-Saharan West and Middle Africa. However, the nominal species includes at least one undescribed species west of Benin; the formal taxonomic changes to split the species have not yet been done. Common names white-lipped frog and forest white-lipped frog has been coined for it, whereas Bamileke Plateau frog refers to now- synonymized ''Amnirana longipes'' (=''Hylarana longipes''). Distribution ''Amnirana albolabris'' occurs in West Africa (from west to east: Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Nigeria) and in Middle Africa (from north to south and east: Cameroon, Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Republic of the Congo, Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, and Kenya). There seems to be a gap in the distribution between western Togo and western Nigeria. Phylogeny and taxonomy ''Amnirana albolabris'' includes ...

Amnirana Lepus
''Amnirana lepus'' is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It is found in Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and northern Angola. Common names Andersson's Cameroon frog, Andersson's white-lipped frog, and jumping white-lipped frog have been proposed for it. Description Males grow to a snout–vent length of and females to . The body is elongated and the snout is moderately pointed, rounded in lateral view. The tympanum is relatively large. The legs are slender and long. The toes are fully webbed. The finger and the toe tips bear discs. The upper surfaces are dark to bronze-brown, possibly with darker spots. The flanks turn to pale green in their lower part and have some dark patterning. The venter is pale green. Males do not have an external vocal sac, but they do have short oval glands in their upper arms and nuptial pads on the thumbs.
