Comment
In the "western Palearctic water frog group" according to the original publication. Lymberakis, Poulakakis, Manthalou, Tsigenopoulos, Magoulas, and Mylonas, 2007, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 44: 115-125, questioned on the basis of molecular evidence the distinctiveness of Pelophylax cerigensis from Pelophylax bedriagae. See brief account by Valakos, Pafilis, Sotiropoulos, Lymberakis, Maragou, and Foufopoulos, 2008, Amph. Rept. Greece: 102-103.
