Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family
ANIMALIA CHORDATA AMPHIBIA ANURA RANIDAE

Scientific Name: Glandirana rugosa
Species Authority: (Temminck and Schlegel, 1838)
Common Name/s:
English – Japanese Wrinkled Frog
Synonym/s:
Rana rugosa Temminck and Schlegel, 1838
Taxonomic Notes: We consider Glandirana emeljanovi to be distinct from G. rugosa following Dubois (1992). The identity of the animals from the Korean Peninsula remains unclear, and until further information becomes available on these populations we restrict G. rugulosa to Japan and consider animals from China and the Korean Peninsula to belong to G. emelijanovi.
