Hoplobatrachus

Hoplobatrachus is a genus of frogs in the family Dicroglossidae.[1][2] This genus is found in both the Sub-Saharan Africa and southern and southeastern Asia. It is the sister taxon of Euphlyctis, although there is some evidence that it might be paraphyletic with respect to Euphlyctis. These frogs are sometimes known as the Peters frogs or crowned bullfrogs.[1]
