AmphibiaWeb's goal is to provide a single page for every species of amphibian in the world so research scientists, citizen scientists and conservationists can collaborate. [1] It added its 7000th animal in 2012, a glass frog from Peru. [2] [3] As of 2022, it hosted more than 8,400 species located worldwide. [4] [5]
The project's own page notes that there are ten times as many amphibian species known to science today than were known in the mid-1980s. [3] In July 1999, the catalogue was first published on the internet, in its 2.0 version. New versions were added in 2004, 2006 and 2007. The 6.0 version, published in 2014, allows for real-time modifications. [4]
This is a list of biodiversity databases.Biodiversity databases store taxonomic information alone or more commonly also other information like distribution (spatial) data and ecological data, which provide information on the biodiversity of a particular area or group of living organisms.
The list below largely follows Darrel Frost's Amphibian Species of the World (ASW), Version 5.5 (31 January 2011). Another classification, which largely follows Frost, but deviates from it in part is the one of AmphibiaWeb , which is run by the California Academy of Sciences and several of universities.

Nomen oblitum (Latin for "forgotten name"): A name that has not been used in the scientific community for more than fifty years after its original proposal. Preoccupied name: A name that is formally published, but which has already been used for another taxon. This second use is invalid (as are all subsequent uses) and the name must be replaced.
The marsupial frogs are a disputed family (Amphignathodontidae) in the order Anura. [1] When treated as a separate family, it consists of two genera, Gastrotheca and Flectonotus. [2] The frogs are native to Neotropical America (Central and South America). Under the dominant view, they are treated as part of the family of Hemiphractidae. [1] [3] [4]
This is a list of amphibian species found in the wild in Korea, including the Korean Peninsula and Jeju Island. A total of 20 species of amphibians are known from Korea; this includes two species of salamander that were not discovered until the 21st century. This list treats the taxonomic designations found in Frost (2007) as authoritative.
