The Ceratobatrachidae are a family of frogs found in the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, the Philippines, Palau, Fiji, New Guinea, and the Admiralty, Bismarck, and Solomon Islands.〔 ==Taxonomy== The Ceratobatrachidae have formerly been treated as a subfamily (i.e., Ceratobatrachinae) in the Ranidae family (true frogs), but they do not seem to be particularly closely related to other former ranids. The five genera are:〔 *''Batrachylodes'' Boulenger, 1887 (eight species) *''Ceratobatrachus'' Boulenger, 1884 (one species) *''Discodeles'' Boulenger, 1918 (five species) *''Palmatorappia'' Ahl, 1927 (one species) *''Platymantis'' Günther, 1858 (70 species) The largest genus, ''Platymantis'', is known to be paraphyletic. Solving this problem will likely lead to a more narrowly defined ''Platymantis'', possibly by transferring some species (together with ''Batrachylodes'') to a larger ''Ceratobatrachus''. In addition, ''"Ingerana" baluensis'' (Boulenger, 1896) is placed ''incertae sedis'' in this family, as opposed to Dicroglossidae where the rest of ''Ingerana'' are.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ceratobatrachidae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
