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