Tadpoles are either semiterrestrial in the spray zone or fully aquatic in zones of the strongest currents. Some species guard their clutches.[3] They are small (Ericabatrachus)[4] or medium- to large-sized frogs (Arthroleptides and Petropedetes).[3] TaxonomyThe Petropedetidae are related to true frogs, family Ranidae, and have often been considered as a subfamily within a broadly defined Ranidae.[5] However, they are now commonly treated as a family,[1][2][5][12] although the genera included may differ between sources. In particular, Conraua is sometimes included in the Petropedetidae,[12] instead of forming its own monogeneric family Conrauidae.[1][2][6] GeneraThe three genera in the family are:[1][2]
Recognition of Arthroleptides as a genus separate from Petropedetes is recent.[3][7] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web |url=http://research.amnh.org/vz/herpetology/amphibia/Amphibia/Anura/Petropedetidae |title=Petropedetidae Noble, 1931 |author=Frost, Darrel R. |year=2014 |work=Amphibian Species of the World: an Online Reference.
