The common name of the family is fork-tongued frogs.

The Dicroglossidae were previously considered to be a subfamily in the family Ranidae, but their position as a family is now well established.{{cite web |url=http://www.amphibiaweb.org/lists/Dicroglossidae.shtml |title=Dicroglossidae |year=2014 |work=AmphibiaWeb: Information on amphibian biology and conservation.
