Leptobrachella is a genus of frogs in the family Megophryidae. Members of Leptobrachella are found throughout Asia including on Borneo and the Natuna Islands. They are sometimes referred to as Borneo frogs, slender-armed frogs, or dwarf litter frogs. The genus contains over 80 species with 25 found in China alone.
Nanorana is a genus of dicroglossid frogs. They are found in Asia, from the Himalayan region of northern Pakistan and northern India, Nepal, and western China east to montane southern China and southeast to Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and northern Vietnam. Common names of these frogs reflect the complex taxonomic history of the genus and include Yunnan slow frogs and High Himalaya frogs.
Leptolalax is a genus of frogs in the family Megophryidae. They are sometimes known as Asian toads, metacarpal-tubercled toads, or slender litter frogs, although many species-specific common names do not follow these conventions, and many species do not have common names. They are widely distributed in southeastern and eastern Asia, from southern China and northeastern India to the Malay Peninsula and Borneo. Leptolalax are typically small and have a cryptic colour pattern and no obvious morphological characters useful in systematic studies. Consequently, both molecular genetic analyses and analysis of advertisement calls by male frogs have been important in identifying new species.
Zakerana teraiensis is a species of frog that is found in southern Nepal, adjacent Sikkim and northeastern India, and southeastern and central Bangladesh. It has recently been reported also from Bhutan. It is a common species associated with open grasslands, often found close to permanent pools and streams.
Leptolalax bourreti is a frog species in the family Megophryidae. It is known with certainty only from the vicinity of its type locality in Sa Pa in northern Vietnam. Earlier records from Laos refer to Leptolalax eos and those from Thailand probably to an unnamed species. Its natural habitats are subtropical moist lowland forests, moist montane forests, and rivers. Its status is insufficiently known.
Lankanectes corrugatus is a species of frog in the family Nyctibatrachidae. It was once monotypic within the genus Lankanectes, until the second species - Lankanectes pera was described in 2018 from Knuckles Mountain Range. It is endemic to Sri Lanka.
Fejervarya iskandari is a species of frog that is endemic to Java, Indonesia. It is named in honor of Djoko Iskandar, an Indonesian herpetologist. It has been recorded in Bandung and Sukabumi, West Java.
Zakerana pierrei is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in Nepal, adjacent India, and eastern Bangladesh. It has recently been reported also from Bhutan. It is a common species associated with paddy fields.
Minervarya is a genus of frogs in the family Dicroglossidae. Species of this genus have been found from eastern India, including the Andaman Islands to northern Thailand.
Nanorana arnoldi is a large species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in southwestern China, northern Myanmar, eastern Nepal, and adjacent northeastern India. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, rivers, and freshwater springs. It is primarily threatened by collection for consumption, but also by habitat loss.
Nanorana ercepeae is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to western Nepal. This relatively rare frog is found in stream habitats in upland temperate rainforests. It is threatened by habitat loss and degradation caused by small-scale agricultural development and wood extraction.
Allopaa hazarensis is a species of frogs in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in Hazara, Pakistan and in Kashmir in India and Pakistan. Its natural habitats are fast-flowing streams where it can occur both in torrential sections and in pools. Tadpoles use their oral disc as a sucker to hold on stones. Prolonged drought periods are a potential threat to this species.
Nanorana minica is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in northern India and in western and eastern Nepal. It is a fairly common species found in subtropical montane forest and streams. It is threatened by habitat loss through the localized clearance of forest.
Nanorana rarica is a frog species in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to western Nepal. Its type locality is the eponymous Rara Lake located in the Rara National Park.
Nanorana rostandi is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to western Nepal. It is a rare species found near high-altitude streams, springs, and other running waters within forests and grasslands. It is threatened by habitat loss due to subsistence wood collecting.
Hylarana tytleri is a frog species in the family Ranidae. It is found in eastern and northeastern India, Bangladesh, and southern Nepal, and possibly at lower elevations in Bhutan. It was formerly placed in Rana, and included in the common green frog. It is probably a close relative of that species nonetheless, and thus placed in the revalidated genus Hylarana, of which H. erythraea is the type species. Common name Theobald's ranid frog has been coined for it, although common names for Indian frogs previously identified as Rana erythraea include yellow-striped frog, leaf frog, and leaping frog.
Nyctibatrachidae is a small family of frogs found in the Western Ghats of India and in Sri Lanka. Their common name is robust frogs. Recognition of Nyctibatrachidae as a family is fairly recent. These frogs were earlier on placed in the broadly defined family Ranidae, most recently divided in three subfamilies, Lankanectinae, Nyctibatrachinae, and Astrobatrachinae.
The frog family Dicroglossidae 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.
Quasipaa is a genus of frogs in the family Dicroglossidae. The genus has no established common name, but many individual species are referred to as spiny frogs. They occur in East and Southeast Asia, from Thailand and Cambodia to southern and eastern China.
Allopaa is a small genus of frogs in the family Dicroglossidae. Their distribution is restricted to Kashmir region of India and Pakistan. The phylogenetic placement of this genus has not been addressed with molecular methods and remains uncertain.
