Rana juliani Hillis and de Sa, 1988

Subgenus: Lithobates
family: Ranidae
genus: Rana
Species Description: Hillis DM, and RO de Sá. 1988. Phylogeny and taxonomy of the Rana palmipes group (Salientia: Ranidae). Herpetological Monographs 2: 1–26.
 
Taxonomic Notes: This species was placed in the genus Lithobates by Frost et al. (2006). However, Yuan et al. (2016, Systematic Biology, doi: 10.1093/sysbio/syw055) showed that this action created problems of paraphyly in other genera. Yuan et al. (2016) recognized subgenera within Rana for the major traditional species groups, with Lithobates used as the subgenus for the Rana palmipes group. AmphibiaWeb recommends the optional use of these subgenera to refer to these major species groups, with names written as Rana (Aquarana) catesbeiana, for example.
