The Broadley's ridged frog is a species of frog in the family Ptychadenidae. It is endemic to Malawi.
Ptychadena cooperi is a species of frog in the family Ptychadenidae. It is endemic to Ethiopia.
Ptychadena erlangeri is a species of frog in the family Ptychadenidae. It is endemic to Ethiopia.
Ptychadena gansi is a species of frog in the family Ptychadenidae. It is endemic to Somalia.
Ptychadena longirostris is a species of frog in the family Ptychadenidae. It is found in Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone, and in possibly in Benin, Senegal, and Togo. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, intermittent freshwater marshes, and canals and ditches. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Ptychadena nana is a species of frog in the family Ptychadenidae. It is endemic to Ethiopia. It is only known with certainty from its type locality, Arussi Mountains, in the Ethiopian Highlands; these mountains are also referred to as the Arsi Mountains. There is uncertainty regarding reports from elsewhere, which perhaps refer to other, possibly undescribed species. Freilich and colleagues found specimens from the Bale Mountains to be larger than "normal" Ptychadena nana, but that molecular data clustered them with other P. nana. Common names Somali grassland frog and smallest grass frog have been coined for it.
Ptychadena neumanni is a species of frog in the family Ptychadenidae. It is endemic to Ethiopia.
Ptychadena newtoni is a species of frog in the family Ptychadenidae. It is endemic to the island of São Tomé in São Tomé and Príncipe, where it occurs up to 600 metres elevation. Its natural habitats are swamps, freshwater marshes, arable land, plantations, rural gardens, urban areas, heavily degraded former forest, ponds, and canals and ditches. It is threatened by habitat loss. The animal was first described as Rana newtoni by Bocage in 1886. The species is named after Francisco Xavier Oakley de Aguiar Newton (1864–1909).

Ptychadena pujoli is a species of frog in the family Ptychadenidae. It is known from Macenta and Sérédou in Guinea, Sukurela in Sierra Leone, and Mount Nimba in Liberia and Ivory Coast. Description of Ptychadena pujoli is based on old museum specimens, and very little is known about the ecology of this relatively recently (1997) described species.

Its natural habitats are moist savanna, subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland, subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.

Ptychadena tellinii is a species of frog in the family Ptychadenidae. It is found in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Ghana, Mali, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Togo, possibly Benin, possibly Chad, possibly Guinea, possibly Liberia, and possibly Sudan.
Ptychadena tournieri is a species of frog in the family Ptychadenidae. It is a widespread species in West Africa and found in Senegal, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Ivory Coast, as well as in Togo and Benin; it is assumed to occur in Ghana and southeastern Burkina Faso, although it has not been recorded there. On the other hand, some records may refer to other species; the Amphibian Species of the World excludes Gambia and Togo from the distribution. Common names Liberia grassland frog and Tournier's rocket frog are sometimes used.
