All species, except the more recently described Sanguirana aurantipunctata and Sanguirana acai, were originally included in Rana; more recently, they have been placed in genus Hylarana. The delineation of the genus and its relationship to other ranid genera is still under discussion. At moment, the following species are included in the genus:[1]
