}}Conraua is a genus of large frogs from sub-Saharan Africa. They are sometimes known as slippery frogs.[1] Conraua is the only genus in the Conrauidae family.[1][2] Alternatively, it may be placed in the Petropedetidae family.[3]

This genus includes the largest frog of the world, Conraua goliath, which may grow to {{convert|32|cm|abbr=on}} in snout–vent length and weigh as much as {{convert|3.3|kg|abbr=on}}.[3] Four of the six species in this genus are threatened.[4]

Etymology

The name of the genus honours Gustav Conrau, a German trader and labour recruiter in Cameroon and the collector of the holotype of Conraua robusta, the type species of the genus.[5][6]

Species

The recognized species are:[7]

  • Conraua alleni {{small|(Barbour & Loveridge, 1927)}}
  • Conraua beccarii {{small|(Boulenger, 1911)}}
  • Conraua crassipes {{small|(Buchholz & W. Peters in W. Peters, 1875)}}
  • Conraua derooi Hulselmans, 1972
  • Conraua goliath (Boulenger, 1906) – goliath frog
  • Conraua robusta Nieden, 1908 – Cameroon slippery frog

Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Conraua.
