Papurana florensis is a species of true frog. It is native to the islands of Lombok, Sumbawa, and Flores in Indonesia. [1] [2] Common names Floresian frog [1] and Flores frog have been coined for it. [2]
Based on molecular data, the previously very diverse genus Hylarana was split in several genera, many of them previously treated as subgenera, in 2015. Molecular data from Papurana florensis was not included in the study, and therefore its placement in Papurana is provisional, pending more morphological and molecular data. [2] [3]
Papurana florensis is a lowland species that lives in wet areas of lowland dry forests and savannas, e.g., in marshes and streams. It is an uncommon species. Threats to it are unknown, as is its presence in protected areas. [1]
True frogs is the common name for the frog family Ranidae. They have the widest distribution of any frog family. They are abundant throughout most of the world, occurring on all continents except Antarctica. The true frogs are present in North America, northern South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. The Asian range extends across the East Indies to New Guinea and a single species, the Australian wood frog, has spread into the far north of Australia.
Indosylvirana aurantiaca, commonly known as the golden frog, is a species of frog endemic to the Western Ghats of India. The species is also known as the Trivandrum frog, the common wood frog, or the small wood frog.
Hylarana chitwanensis is a species of frog in the family Ranidae endemic to Nepal. Its type locality is in the Chitwan National Park. Earlier reports from India are erroneous although it is likely to occur there.
The common green frog is a frog species of in the true frog family Ranidae; some sources still use the old name Rana erythraea. It lives in Southeast Asia and is also known as green paddy frog, red-eared frog or leaf frog. The last name, however, commonly refers to the Neotropical tree frogs which make up the subfamily Phyllomedusinae. These are not closely related to H. erythraea, belonging to family Hylidae instead.
Hylarana guentheri is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It was formerly placed in the genus Rana. It is found in China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Vietnam, and possibly Cambodia and Laos. An introduced population is found on Guam. It can live as high as 1100 meters above sea level. An alternate common name is Günther's Amoy frog, and the honorific is often spelled "Guenther's".
Humerana lateralis is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It is found in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. It is commonly known as Kokarit frog, yellow frog or (ambiguously) wood frog.
Hylarana latouchii, also known as Kuatun frog, La Touche's frog, or broad-folded frog, is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It was formerly placed in genus Rana. The specific name honours the collector of the type series: "Hylarana" latouchii was described by George Albert Boulenger based on three specimens collected by Irish ornithologist John D. La Touche in Guadun village in Wuyishan, Fujian, China.
Hylarana tytleri is a frog species in the family Ranidae. It is found in eastern and northeastern India, Myanmar, 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.
Hylarana, commonly known as golden-backed frogs, is a genus of true frogs found in tropical Asia. It was formerly considered highly diverse, containing around 84 to 96 valid species, but taxonomic revision resulted in a major change in the contents of the genus, and today it is recognised as containing just four species.
Sylvirana is a genus of true frogs, family Ranidae, found in South and East Asia, from northeastern India in west to China in the north, Taiwan in the east, and Thailand in the south. Originally proposed as a subgenus of Rana in 1992, it has been considered both a full genus and a synonym of Hylarana. Its current recognition at generic level stems from molecular genetic analyses published in 2015.
Papurana is a genus of frogs in the family Ranidae, "true frogs". They are known from Southeast Asia, New Guinea, and northern Australia. Papurana daemeli is the only ranid frog found in Australia.
Papurana arfaki is a species of true frog, family Ranidae. It is widely distributed in New Guinea and also found on the Aru Islands (Indonesia). Common names Arfak Mountains frog and large river-frog have been coined for it. Its type locality is the Arfak Mountains.
Papurana celebensis, also known as the Celebes frog, is a species of true frog in the family Ranidae. Prior to being reclassified into the genus Papurana in 2020, it was referred to as "Hylarana" celebensis. It is endemic to Sulawesi (Celebes), Indonesia. It is a lowland forest species, also occurring disturbed habitats. It has been observed between 326 to 1075 meters above sea level.
Papurana elberti is a species of true frog. It is native to Indonesia and Timor-Leste and found on the islands of Timor and Wetar. The specific name elberti honours Johannes Elbert, a German naturalist who joined an expedition to the Lesser Sunda Islands and Sulawesi in 1910. Common name Lesser Sundas frog has been coined for it.
Papurana kreffti is a species of true frog, family Ranidae. It is native to New Ireland and Buka Island and the Solomon Islands. The specific name kreffti honours Gerard Krefft, a German adventurer who settled in Australia and became there to be regarded as the father of Australian herpetology. Common names San Cristoval frog and San Cristobal treefrog have been coined for it.
Papurana milleti is a species of true frog. Originally described in the genus Rana, then Hylarana and Indosylvirana, it is now placed in Papurana. It is native to Cambodia, China (Yunnan), Thailand, Vietnam, and quite possibly Laos. It is a locally common frog found by ponds and streams in seasonal tropical forests.
Papurana milneana is a species of "true frog", family Ranidae. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea where it is found in the upland areas of Milne Bay, Morobe, Northern, and Central Provinces, as well from the D'Entrecasteaux Islands and, tentatively, Louisiade Archipelago. It was originally described as a subspecies of Rana grisea, but raised to full-species status in 2007.
Papurana moluccana is a species of true frog. It is endemic to the Maluku Islands of Indonesia; specifically, it is known from Halmahera and Bacan. Common name Moluccas frog has been coined for it.
Papurana novaeguineae is a species of true frog, family Ranidae. It is endemic to southern New Guinea and occurs between Lake Yamur and Purari River. Common name New Guinea frog has been coined for it.
Papurana papua is a species of true frog, family Ranidae. It is endemic to New Guinea and found in the northern part of the island in both Indonesia and Papua New Guinea as well in some offshore islands. Common name Papua frog has been coined for it.
