Rana psilonota Webb, 2001

Subgenus: Zweifelia
family: Ranidae
genus: Rana
Species Description: Webb, R. G. 2001. Frogs of the Rana tarahumarae group in western Mexico. Johnson, J. D., R. G. Webb, and O. Flores-Villela eds., Mesoamerican Herpetology: Systematics, Natural History, and Conservation: 20–43. El Paso, Texas, University of Texas at El Paso.
 
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.
