They are placed in the true frog [[family (biology)|family]] ([[Ranidae]]) by many authors. Some think at least part of this group are a distinct family '''Petropedetidae'''. The '''Cacosterninae''' and '''Phrynobatrachinae''' are then separated as subfamilies. They may even be distinct families '''Cacosternidae''' and '''Phrynobatrachidae'''.<ref>Frost (2006)</ref> Most members of this subfamily are in the [[genus]] ''Phrynobatrachus''. These frogs mostly live in [[sub-Saharan Africa]]. This group of frogs is made up from the following [[genus (biology)|genera]]: * ''[[Anhydrophryne]]'' &ndash; Hogsback Frog (1 species) * ''[[Arthroleptella]]'' &ndash; moss frogs (8 species) * ''[[Arthroleptides]]'' &ndash; African torrent frogs (3 species) * ''[[Cacosternum]]'' &ndash; cacos (10 species) * ''[[Dimorphognathus]]'' (1 species) * ''[[Ericabatrachus]]'' (1 species) * ''[[Microbatrachella]]'' &ndash; Micro Frog (1 species) * ''[[Natalobatrachus]]'' (1 species) * ''[[Nothophryne]]'' (1 species) * ''[[Petropedetes]]'' (7 species) * ''[[Phrynobatrachus]]'' &ndash; dwarf puddle frogs or African puddle frogs (70+ species) * ''[[Phrynodon]]'' (1 species) * ''[[Poyntonia]]'' (1 species) ==References== {{Reflist}} * {{aut|Frost, Darrel R.}} (2006): Amphibian Species of the World Version 3 - [http://research.amnh.org/herpetology/amphibia/references.php?id=15026 Petropedetidae Noble, 1931].
