Added as a separate page 18 May 2025. Last updated 27 May 2025 with articles from S 39(3/4) and 45(1).
The following is a guide to articles on frogs of the Family Phrynobatrachidae that have appeared within herpetological magazines within the last few years. It is an ongoing project, ie I am effectively cataloguing these entries myself from the actual magazines, some of which are harder to get hold of than others (especially when they are no longer being published!). I hope however that some people will find it useful, especially if researching a single species or looking for some care guidance.
In practice little appears in print on these frogs, probably partly because they are protected so less likely to appear in hobbyist literature.
