The frogs that scientists used to say were in "Hylarana" lived everywhere from Sri Lanka to the Western Ghat Mountains in India, through Nepal and southern China and Taiwan, south to Southeast Asia to the Philippines and Papua New Guinea, in Northern Australia, and tropical Africa. The four species of frogs that are still in "Hylarana" today live in southern and southeast Asia.
"Hylarana" is in the subfamily Raninae. They are true frogs, so they are in the family Ranidae. The name "Hylarana" comes from from the New Latin word "hyle" ("wood" or "forest") and "rana" ("frog"). Scientists used to think "Hylarana" was a subgenus of the genus "Rana", but they changed their minds in 2005. In 2006, scientists took "Hylarana" and split it into more genera. They treat these as junior synonyms of "Hylarana". In 2015, Oliver et al. looked closely at "Hylarana" again. They said that only four species are really "Hylarana sensu stricto": The other frogs were moved to "Abavorana", "Amnirana", "Chalcorana", "Humerana", "Hydrophylax", "Indosylvirana", "Papurana", "Pulchrana", and "Sylvirana".
Scientists used to say this genus had 84 to 96 valid species of frogs in it. But they looked closely again. Now, scientists say only four frogs are truly "Hylarana":
After these changes, scientists are not sure where a few "Hylarana" species should be placed:
