Pelophylax cypriensis or Cyprus water frog is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It is endemic to Cyprus. [2] [3] It is widespread in Cyprus, with the highest density in the Troodos area, the most humid part of the island. It can live in both stagnant and brackish water, including small pools, streams, and ditches. [4]
It is a medium-sized frog, with females (body length up to 75 mm or 3.0 in) being larger than males (up to 65mm 65 mm or 2.6 in). The skin is rather warty and colouration varies widely. There are four unwebbed toes on the front legs and five webbed toes on the hindlegs. [5] Males have paired external vocal sacs. [6]

It is found in the West Himalayan region at altitudes of 780–3,200 m (2,560–10,500 ft) from northern Pakistan to Ladakh in India; although sometimes reported elsewhere, this is the result of misidentifications of other species.

It can be beneficial to humans as it feeds on insects and their larvae within areas of agriculture.
