Classification et nomenclature supragénérique des Amphibiens Anoures

Various recent works on the comparative anatomy, evolutionary genetics, karyology and phylogeny of the Amphibia Anura of the world have yielded important changes in the suprageneric classification of this group. Unfortunately, most of the authors concerned with these changes have ignored the nomenclatural aspect of this work. It has therefore appeared useful to prepare a revised list of the suprageneric taxa of Amphibia Anura of the world, which is here presented. A detailed discussion of various taxonomic and nomenclatural problems associated with the establishment of this list will be published elsewhere.
