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.

Sphaerotheca Breviceps
The Indian burrowing frog (''Sphaerotheca breviceps'') is a species of frog found in South Asia (Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, India, Sri Lanka and in Myanmar ). Description Its vomerine teeth form two oblique groups extending a little beyond the hind edge of the choanse. Its habit is stout. The head is short, with a rounded snout; the occiput is swollen, and the interorbital space is narrower than the upper eyelid. The tympanum is distinct, about two-thirds the diameter of the eye. The fingers are moderate and obtuse, with the first extending much beyond second, nearly as long as third; the toes are moderate, obtuse, and half-webbed; the subarticular tubercles are moderate, with the inner metatarsal tubercle being very large, sharp-edged, shovel-shaped, and longer than the inner toe; no outer tubercle or tarsal fold is present. The hind limbs are short, and the tibiotarsal articulation reaches the axilla or the tympanum. The skin above is smooth or granulate, with some scatter ...

Sphaerotheca Maskeyi
''Sphaerotheca maskeyi'' is a species of frog in the family Ranidae found in Nepal and possibly Bhutan and India. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland, swamps, intermittent freshwater lakes, and freshwater marsh A marsh is a wetland that is dominated by herbaceous rather than woody plant species.Keddy, P.A. 2010.

Amphibian Genera
Amphibians are four-limbed and ectothermic vertebrates of the class Amphibia. All living amphibians belong to the group Lissamphibia. They inhabit a wide variety of habitats, with most species living within terrestrial, fossorial, arboreal or freshwater aquatic ecosystems. Thus amphibians typically start out as larvae living in water, but some species have developed behavioural adaptations to bypass this. The young generally undergo metamorphosis from larva with gills to an adult air-breathing form with lungs. Amphibians use their skin as a secondary respiratory surface and some small terrestrial salamanders and frogs lack lungs and rely entirely on their skin. They are superficially similar to reptiles like lizards but, along with mammals and birds, reptiles are amniotes and do not require water bodies in which to breed. With their complex reproductive needs and permeable skins, amphibians are often ecological indicators; in recent decades there has been a dramatic ...

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).

Sphaerotheca Rolandae
''Sphaerotheca rolandae'' (common names: Sri Lanka bullfrog, Roland's burrowing frog, southern burrowing frog, marble sand frog) is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae found in Sri Lanka. It is controversial whether the species also occurs in India and Nepal. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, intermittent freshwater marshes, arable land, and pastureland. It is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or dead, thereby ....
