Hylarana aurantiaca
''Hylarana aurantiaca'', commonly known as the golden frog, is a species of frog endemic to the Western Ghats of India. The species is also known as the Trivandrum frog, the common wood frog, or the small wood frog.
==Taxonomy==
''Hylarana aurantiaca'' is apart of the well known frog genus ''Hylarana'' which is under the family ''Randiae''. ''Hylarana aurantiaca'' was previously considered to be a possible species complex. Specimens recovered from Sri Lanka were previously misidentified as ''H. aurantiaca''〔S.D. Biju, Kelum Manamendra-Arachchi, Sushil Dutta, Robert Inger, Anslem de Silva (2004). ''(Hylarana aurantiaca )''. In: IUCN 2011. IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Version 2011.1.〕 due to the lack of distinct color differences and morphological characteristics In 2014, a study confirmed that ''H. aurantiaca'' was endemic to the Western Ghats. There are no shared ''Hylarana'' species between the Western Ghats and Sri Lanka.〔 Using morphological and molecular data, seven new species were added to the ''Hylarana'' species that were previously known in the regions of the Western Ghats and Sri Lanka.〔 The "small-sized" ''H. aurantiaca'' recovered from Sri Lanka was discovered to be a previously undescribed species, ''Hylarana serendipi''. There are four major groups of ''Hylarana'' species: ''H. aurantiaca'' which is endemic to the Western Ghats, ''H. flavescens'' which is endemic to the Western Ghats, ''H. temporalis'' which is endemic to Sri Lanka, and ''H. malabarica'' which is found in Sri Lanka and India.
The species was first described by the Belgian-British zoologist George Albert Boulenger in 1904 as ''Rana aurantiaca''. The type locality of the species is in Trivandrum, and the holotype is preserved in the Natural History Museum (BM 1947.2.2.92 formerly 1903.9.26.1).〔Dutta, S.K. (1997). ''Amphibians of India and Sri Lanka''. Odyssey Publishing House. Bhubaneswar.〕 It was variously classified under the subgenera ''Hylorana'', ''Hylarana'', and ''Sylvirana'' while under the genus ''Rana''. It was reclassified under ''Hylarana'' when the subgenus was split off from ''Rana'' in 2005. It was briefly put in ''Sylvirana'' in 2006, but ''Sylvirana'' is now considered to be a junior synonym of ''Hylarana''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Hylarana'' Tschudi, 1838 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Hylarana aurantiaca'' (Boulenger, 1904) )〕 By using the taxonomic approach, hidden diversity throughout the species was discovered.
