The true frogs are present in North America, northern South America, Europe, Africa (including Madagascar), and Asia.
Chalcorana eschatia is a species of "true frog" in the family Ranidae. [2] It is known from southern Thailand, but is likely to be more widespread. [2] It was split off from Chalcorana chalconota (then Rana chalconota) by Robert Inger and colleagues in 2009, [2] along with a number of other species in so-called "Rana chalconota group". [1]

Initially identified as R. adenopleura, the Yaeyama harpist frog was described as a new species, Rana psaltes, in 1985. [6] [2] In 1999, upon examination of the lectotype of Boettger's R. okinavana, [7] this animal was found to be very similar to R. psaltes, differing from the Okinawan brown frogs just as the recently described Yaeyama frogs did.
