Comment

In the Rana temporaria group according to the original publication. Considered by Veith, Kosuch, and Vences, 2003, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 26: 310-327, to be the sister taxon of Rana temporaria (sensu lato, as including Rana honnorati and Rana aragonensis). Arnold, 2002, Rept. Amph. Eur., Ed. 2: 81-82, provided a brief account, figure, and map. Serra-Cobo, 1997, in Pleguezuelos (ed.), Dist. Biogeogr. Anf. Rep. Esp. Portugal: 167-168, provided a brief account, photograph, and detailed map. Carranza and Arribas, 2008, Amphibia-Reptilia, 29: 579-582, reported on the genetic homogeneity of the species.
