The Ceratobatrachidae are a family of frogs[1][2] found in the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, the Philippines, Palau, Fiji, New Guinea, and the Admiralty, Bismarck, and Solomon Islands.[1]
Ceratobatrachidae was formerly treated as a subfamily (i.e., Ceratobatrachinae) in the family Ranidae (true frogs), but have now been re-classified as a separate family. The following genera are recognised:[1]
- Subfamily Alcalinae Brown, Siler, Richards, Diesmos, and Cannatella, 2015
- Alcalus (5 species)
- Subfamily Ceratobatrachinae Boulenger, 1884
- Cornufer Tschudi, 1838 (> 50 species)
- Platymantis Günther, 1858 (> 30 species)
- Subfamily Liuraninae Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2010
- Liurana Dubois, 1987 (4 species)
Formerly, the following genera were also recognized in the family Ceratobatrachidae, but have now been merged into the genera above.
- Batrachylodes Boulenger, 1887 (8 species)
- Palmatorappia Ahl, 1927 (1 species)
- Ceratobatrachus Boulenger, 1884 (1 species)
- Discodeles Boulenger, 1918 (5 species)
