Ranidae (see family information on Tree of Life site)
True frogs
Members of this family are known as the true frogs and occur worldwide, though they have a limited distribution within South America and Australia. They are absent in the West Indies and occur on a few oceanic islands. Size ranges from less than 50 mm to 300 mm in Conraua goliath, which is the largest known frog. Ranids have generalized frog body plans and a generalized aquatic tadpole stage (although various types of direct development have evolved independently in many groups). Most have firmisternal pelvic girdles (some have overlapping coracoids but these are fused to one another), and all have toothed upper jaws and cylindrical sacral diapophyses, and lack intercalary cartilage between the penultimate and terminal phalanges. Habitats for these groups vary from dry to temperate to tropical.
