Dicroglossidae
The frog family Dicroglossidae occurs in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and Africa, with most genera and species being found in Asia. The common name of the family is fork-tongued frogs. The Dicroglossidae were previously considered to be a subfamily in the family Ranidae, but their position as a family is now well established. Subfamilies and genera The two subfamilies contain 213 species in 13–15 genera, depending on the source. Dicroglossinae Anderson, 1871 — 197 species in 12 genera: Occidozyginae Fei, Ye, and Huang, 1990 — 16 species in two genera: *''Ingerana'' Dubois, 1987 (four species) *''Occidozyga'' Kuhl and Van Hasselt, 1822 (12 species) Phylogeny The following phylogeny of Dicroglossidae is from Pyron & Wiens (2011).

Nannophrys
''Nannophrys'' is a genus of frogs endemic to Sri Lanka. It used to be placed in the large frog family Ranidae but a phylogenetic study was undertaken using DNA sequences and it is now included in the family Dicroglossidae. They are sometimes known under the common name streamlined frogs. Ecology ''Nannophrys'' species are flat-bodied frogs that are adapted to live among narrow, horizontal rock crevices near clear-water streams.

Quasipaa
''Quasipaa'' is a genus of frogs in the family Dicroglossidae. The genus has no established common name, but many individual species are referred to as ''spiny frogs''. They occur in East and Southeast Asia, from Thailand and Cambodia to southern and eastern China. Taxonomy ''Quasipaa'' was first proposed as a subgenus of ''Paa'' (now considered to belong to ''Nanorana''). It was subsequently raised to the level of genus, and molecular phylogenetic analyses have corroborated the monophyly of ''Quasipaa''. Many individual species were originally described in genus ''Rana''. Even after splitting the very wide ''Rana'' into smaller taxa, frogs now in ''Quasipaa'' continued to belong to the true frog family (Ranidae), at times as subfamily Dicroglossinae, until Dicroglossinae was raised to the family level (i.e., Dicroglossidae). The taxonomy of Dicroglossidae is far from settled yet. Species There are 11 species in this genus: Conservation and use The International Union for ...

Euphlyctis
''Euphlyctis'' is a genus of frogs in family Dicroglossidae distributed from the southwestern Arabian Peninsula, Pakistan and Afghanistan to India, Nepal, through Myanmar and Thailand to Malaya, and Sri Lanka. None of the four species assessed by the IUCN is considered threatened. Species There are eight species recognised in the genus ''Euphlyctis'': * '' Euphlyctis aloysii'' Joshy, Alam, Kurabayashi, Sumida, and Kuramoto, 2009 * ''Euphlyctis cyanophlyctis'' (Schneider, 1799) * '' Euphlyctis ehrenbergii'' (Peters, 1863) * '' Euphlyctis ghoshi'' (Chanda, 1991) * ''Euphlyctis hexadactylus'' (Lesson, 1834) * ''Euphlyctis kalasgramensis ''Euphlyctis'' is a genus of frogs in family Dicroglossidae distributed from the southwestern Arabian Peninsula, Pakistan and Afghanistan to India, Nepal, through Myanmar and Thailand to Malaya, and Sri Lanka.

Limnonectes
''Limnonectes'' is a genus of fork-tongued frogs of about 75 known species, but new ones are still being described occasionally. They are collectively known as fanged frogs because they tend to have unusually large teeth, which are small or absent in other frogs. Habitat These frogs are found throughout East and Southeast Asia, most commonly near forest streams. Multiple species of ''Limnonectes'' may occupy the same area in harmony. Large-bodied species cluster around fast rivers, while smaller ones live among leaf-litter or on stream banks. The Indonesian island of Sulawesi is home to at least 15 species of this frog, only four of which have been formally described. Lifecycle Tadpoles of this genus have adapted to a variety of conditions. Most species (e.g. Blyth's river frog ''L. blythii'' or the fanged river frog ''L. macrodon'') develop normally, with free-swimming tadpoles that eat food. The tadpoles of the corrugated frog (''L. laticeps'') are free-swimming but endotro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fejervarya
''Fejervarya'' is a genera of frogs in the family Dicroglossidae found in Asia. First proposed in 1915 by István József Bolkay, a Hungarian naturalist, the genus did not see widespread adoption at first. As late as the 1990s it was generally included in ''Rana'', but more recent studies have confirmed its distinctness. These frogs are remarkable for being extremely euryhaline by amphibian standards. Species such as the crab-eating frog (''F. cancrivora'') can thrive in brackish water, and its tadpoles can even survive in pure seawater. Systematics and taxonomy ''Fejervarya'' was first introduced as subgenus of ''Rana'' and later placed as subgenus as ''Limnonectes''. It was treated as an independent genus first in 1998. However, ''Fejervarya'' sensu lato was found to be paraphyletic with respect to '' Sphaerotheca''. This issue was eventually resolved in 2011 by splitting some species to the genus '' Zakerana'' (renamed in 2021 as '' Minervarya''). ''Fejervarya'', as now ...

Sphaerotheca (frog)
''Sphaerotheca'' is a genus of true frogs. They can be found in South Asia. Molecular data suggest that they are closely related to ''Fejervarya'', perhaps as a monophyletic group within a paraphyletic ''Fejervarya''. Species There are currently 11 described species in ''Sphaerotheca'': * '' Spaerotheca bengaluru'' *''Sphaerotheca breviceps'' (Schneider, 1799) * '' Sphaerotheca dobsoni'' (Boulenger, 1882) * '' Sphaerotheca leucorhynchus'' (Rao, 1937) * '' Sphaerotheca magadha'' Prasad, Dinesh, Das, Swamy, Shinde, and Vishnu, 2019 * '' Sphaerotheca maskeyi'' (Schleich and Anders, 1998) * '' Sphaerotheca pashchima'' Padhye, Dahanukar, Sulakhe, Dandekar, Limaye, and Jamdade, 2017 * '' Sphaerotheca pluvialis'' (Jerdon, 1853) * '' Sphaerotheca rolandae'' (Dubois, 1983) * '' Sphaerotheca strachani'' (Murray, 1884) * ''Sphaerotheca swani ''Sphaerotheca swani'' is a species of frog in the family Ranidae endemic to Nepal.

Hoplobatrachus
''Hoplobatrachus'' is a genus of frogs in the family Dicroglossidae. This genus is found in both Sub-Saharan Africa and southern and southeastern Asia.
