Amphibian Species of the World 6.2: An Online Reference (ASW) is a herpetology database. It lists the names of frogs, salamanders and other amphibians , which scientists first described each species and what year, and the animal's known range.
It includes all amphibians currently found in Europe. It does not include species found only in captivity or extinct in Europe, except where there is some doubt about this, nor does it currently include species introduced in recent decades. Each species is listed, with its binomial name and notes on its distribution where this is limited.
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.
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 Amphibian Species of the World follows the revision by Duellman and colleagues from 2016 based on molecular data and delimits the subfamily more narrowly than before, treating parts of former Hylinae as their own subfamilies. Following this classification, there were 18 genera totaling 174 species in the end of 2020.
