Pelobates fuscus is a species of toad in the family Pelobatidae, native to an area extending from Central Europe to Western Asia. It is commonly known as the common spadefoot, garlic toad, the common spadefoot toad and the European common spadefoot.
The Albanerpetontidae are an extinct family of small amphibians, native to the Northern Hemisphere during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. The only members of the order Allocaudata, they are thought to be allied with living amphibians belonging to Lissamphibia. Despite a superficially salamander-like bodyform, their anatomy is strongly divergent from modern amphibians in numerous aspects. The fossil record of albanerpetontids spans over 160 million years from the Middle Jurassic to the beginning of the Pleistocene, about 2.13–2 million years ago.
Brachycormus is an extinct genus of salamandrid amphibian from the Oligocene–Miocene of Europe.
Aralobatrachus is an extinct genus of prehistoric amphibian known from Uzbekistan.
Altanulia is an extinct genus of prehistoric amphibian.
Albionbatrachus is an extinct genus of prehistoric frogs from England and Romania. Two species are recognized: While previously synonymised with Palaeobatrachus, it is now considered a distinct palaeobatrachid genus based on characters of the frontoparietals.
Baranophrys is an extinct genus of prehistoric amphibian of questionable taxonomic status. It is known from Villány, Hungary.
Eoxenopoides is an extinct genus of prehistoric frogs. It is known from Banke, a Maastrichtian/Selandian crater lake mudstone in South Africa.
Hylaeobatrachus is an extinct genus of prehistoric salamander, known from the Early Cretaceous of Europe. The type species H. croyii is known from the Sainte-Barbe Clays Formation at the Iguanodon locality of Belgium, and was described by Louis Dollo. An unnamed Hylaeobatrachus-like taxon has also been reported from Las Hoyas, Spain. Both localities are of Barremian age. Hylaeobatrachus belongs to the crown group of modern salamanders, though its exact relationship with modern salamander groups is uncertain. It was neotenic, llike some modern salamanders.
Hatzegobatrachus is an extinct genus of prehistoric toad. It is sometimes considered the earliest known member of the family Bombinatoridae. It is known from the Late Cretaceous Densuş-Ciula Formation and Sard Formation of Romania, in the region that was once Hateg Island.
Gobiates is an extinct genus of prehistoric amphibians. Fossils have been found in the Barun Goyot and Djadokhta Formations of Mongolia, the Bissekty Formation of Uzbekistan and the Paluxy and Twin Mountains Formations of Texas. The following species are recognized:
Nezpercius is an extinct genus of prehistoric amphibian.
Neusibatrachus is an extinct genus of frog, known from the Early Cretaceous (Barremian) La Pedrera de Rúbies Formation of Spain. It is one of the oldest representatives of Pipimorpha.
Macropelobates is an extinct genus of prehistoric frogs. It was described by Gladwyn Kingsley Noble based on material from Oligocene of Mongolia.
Procynops is an extinct genus of prehistoric amphibian.
Procerobatrachus is an extinct genus of prehistoric amphibian. It was described based on material from Uzbekistan.
Paleoamphiuma is an extinct genus of prehistoric salamanders. It is known from the Green River Formation in Wyoming, the United States.
Scotiophryne is an extinct genus of prehistoric amphibian.
Pelobates cultripes is a toad species in the family Pelobatidae. It is known under many different common names, including the western spadefoot, Iberian spadefoot toad, Spanish spadefoot toad, and Wagler's spadefoot toad. It is found in most of the Iberian Peninsula with isolated populations southern and western France.
Batrachosauroididae is an extinct family of prehistoric salamanders with holarctic distribution. They were paedomorphic and presumably aquatic. They are possibly the sister taxon of Proteidae, an extant family of aquatic salamanders. They are definitively known from the Late Cretaceous to Miocene of North America and Europe. Remains from the earliest Cretaceous (Berriasian) Lulworth Formation of England have tenatively been attributed to this family.
