The frog family Dicroglossidae{{cite web |url=http://research.amnh.org/vz/herpetology/amphibia/Amphibia/Anura/Dicroglossidae |title=Dicroglossidae Anderson, 1871 |author=Frost, Darrel R. |year=2014 |work=Amphibian Species of the World: an Online Reference. Version 6.0 |publisher=American Museum of Natural History |access-date=26 January 2014}}{{ITIS|id=773183 |taxon=Dicroglossidae Anderson, 1871}} occurs in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and Africa, with most genera and species being found in Asia. 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.
