Genera

Ranixalidae is a group of frogs. People call them leaping frogs[1][2] or Indian frogs in English.[3] They live in central and southern India, for example in the Western Ghat mountains.[1][2][3] These mountains are in the Indian states of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu.[4] Ranixalidae frogs also live in Maharashtra,[5] Goa,[6] Karnataka, and Kerala.[7] Many of these frogs live in Goa and Maharashtra, and many live in Karnataka and Kerala, where there are other frogs in Indirana.[8]

Scientists say the two groups of frogs in Ranixalidae, Indirana and Walkerana, became different from each other around 58.4 million years ago.[9]

Genera

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

AmphibiaWeb says there are 15 species (because Indirana tenuilingua, a nomen inquirendum, is listed) and three (Walkerana muduga Dinesh et al., 2020 not (yet) listed).[3]
