title: Ranoidea (genus)

paragraphs: Ranoidea is a genus of frogs in the subfamily Pelodryadinae. They live in Australia, New Guinea, the Maluku Islands, and the Louisiade Archipelago. Scientists still disagree with each other about whether "Ranoidea" should be its own genus or not and which frogs should be in it. Many of the frogs in "Ranoidea" used to be in "Litoria", "Dryopsophus", or "Hyla". In 2016, one team of scientists wrote a paper saying "Litoria" should be divided up into other genuses. Many other amphibian scientists read it and agreed, but some did not. One reason for this was that not all of the frogs in "Litoria" had been studied on the DNA level.

paragraphs: All frogs in "Ranoidea" have side-to-side pupils that open up-and-down and no coloring in their eyelid membrane. Many species have tadpoles that swim in mountain streams and have very large mouths on the undersides of their bodies.

Scientists disagree about exactly which frogs should be placed in which family and on exactly where Ranoidea belongs among groups of amphibians. Amphibian scientists often change their minds about exactly which frogs are related to each other and how closely, usually when someone finds new information (Glaw,Vences, 2001).

Pyxicephaline frogs are large bullfrog-like frogs with thick bodies and fanglike bones on their lower jaws, used to smash their prey.
