The common green frog (''Hylarana erythraea'') is a frog species of in the true frog family Ranidae; some sources still use the old name ''Rana erythraea''. It lives in Southeast Asia and is also known as green paddy frog, red-eared frog or leaf frog.〔Diesmos ''et al.'' (2011)〕 The last name, however, commonly refers to the Neotropical tree frogs which make up the subfamily Phyllomedusinae. These are not closely related to ''H. erythraea'', belonging to family Hylidae instead. ==Taxonomy and systematics== Long placed in ''Rana'', it is only as closely related to this genus as is e.g. ''Amolops''. Consequently, the genus ''Hylarana'', of which the common green frog is the type species, warrants re-establishment. ''Hylarana'' seems to form a clade together with the similarly revalidated genera ''Pulchrana'' and ''Sylvirana'', and presumably also ''Hydrophylax'' as well as some species presently placed in ''Pelophylax'' (e.g. Kokarit Frog, ''"P." lateralis'').〔Stuart (2008), van Dijk ''et al.'' (2011)〕 This frog has confused researchers for a long time, as it resembles tree frogs in habitus. It was initially placed in the tree frog genus ''Hyla''. The junior synonyms of the common green frog are: * ''Hyla erythraea'' Schlegel, 1837 * ''Hylorana erythraea'' (''lapsus'') * ''Limnodytes erythraeus'' (Schlegel, 1837) * ''Polypedates erythraea'' (Schlegel, 1837) * ''Rana erythraea'' (Schlegel, 1837) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Common green frog」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
