Subfamilies

Dicroglossinae
Occidozyginae

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 213 species in 13–15 genera, depending on the source.[3][1]

Dicroglossinae Anderson, 1871 — 197 species in 12 genera:[4]


Occidozyginae Fei, Ye, and Huang, 1990 — 16 species in two genera:[5]

Phylogeny

The following phylogeny of Dicroglossidae is from Pyron & Wiens (2011).[6] Dicroglossidae is a sister group of Ranixalidae.[6]
