Species

Different sources may delimit species differently, and as new species are still being described, different number of species can be found. As of early 2019, Amphibian Species of the World lists 145 species[1] and AmphibiaWeb 153 species.[2] The following list follows the Amphibian Species of the World:[1]

gollark: * no dedicated support needed
