Ranixalidae is a family of frogs commonly known as the leaping frogs[1][2] or Indian frogs.[3] They are endemic to central and southern India.[1][2][3]

Genera[]

There are two genera[1][3] with a total 18 species:[1]

  • Walkerana Dahanukar, Modak, Krutha, Nameer, Padhye, and Molur, 2016 — 4 species
