Amphibians are ectothermic, anamniotic, four-limbed vertebrate animals that constitute the class Amphibia. In its broadest sense, it is a paraphyletic group encompassing all tetrapods excluding the amniotes (tetrapods with an amniotic membrane , such as modern reptiles , birds and mammals ).
List of amphibians. The temnospondyl Eryops had sturdy limbs to support its body on land. Red-eyed tree frog (Agalychnis callidryas) with limbs and feet specialised for climbing. Japanese giant salamander (Andrias japonicus), a primitive salamander. The bright colours of the common reed frog (Hyperolius viridiflavus) are typical of a toxic species.
This list of Anuran families shows all extant families of Anura. Anura is an order of animals in the class Amphibia that includes frogs and toads. More than 5,000 species are described in the order. The living anurans are typically divided into three suborders: Archaeobatrachia, Mesobatrachia, and Neobatrachia.

There are 107 classes of animals in 33 phyla in this list. However, different sources give different numbers of classes and phyla. For example, Protura, Diplura, and Collembola are often considered to be the three orders in the class Entognatha. This list should by no means be considered complete and authoritative and should be used carefully.
The origins and evolutionary relationships between the three main groups of amphibians (apodans, urodeles and anurans) is a matter of debate.A 2005 molecular phylogeny, based on rDNA analysis, suggested that the first divergence between these three groups took place soon after they had branched from the lobe-finned fish in the Devonian (around 360 million years ago), and before the breakup of ...
Order Acanthothoraci. Order Arthrodira. Order Antiarchi. Order Brindabellaspida. Order Petalichthyida. Order Phyllolepida. Order Ptyctodontida. Order Rhenanida. Order Pseudopetalichthyida (The placement of this order is debated.)
