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 ...
