Biology:Dicroglossidae

From HandWiki

The frog family Dicroglossidae[1][2] 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.[1]

The Dicroglossidae were previously considered to be a subfamily in the family Ranidae, but their position as a family is now well established.[1][2][3]

Subfamilies and genera

The two subfamilies contain 231 species in 13–15 genera, depending on the source.[3][1]

Dicroglossinae Anderson, 1871 — 211 species in 13 genera:[4]

Occidozyginae Fei, Ye, and Huang, 1990 — 20 species in two genera:[5]

Phylogeny

The following phylogeny of Dicroglossidae is from Pyron & Wiens (2011)[6] with the split of Euphlyctis sensu lato based on Yadav et al. (2024).[7] Dicroglossidae is a sister group of Ranixalidae.[6]
