Biology:Dicroglossidae
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]
- Allopaa Ohler and Dubois, 2006 (one species)

- Euphlyctis Fitzinger, 1843 (eight species)
- Fejervarya Bolkay, 1915 (14 species)
- Hoplobatrachus Peters, 1863 (six species)
- Limnonectes Fitzinger, 1843 (91 species)

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]
