Papurana Dubois, 1992
Papurana Dubois, 1992, Bull. Mens. Soc. Linn. Lyon, 61: 325. Type species: Rana papua Lesson, 1830, by original designation. Proposed as a subgenus of Rana.
Tylerana Dubois, 1992, Bull. Mens. Soc. Linn. Lyon, 61: 329. Type species: Rana jimiensis Tyler, 1963, by original designation. Proposed as a subgenus of Rana. Günther, 2003, Mitt. Mus. Naturkd. Berlin, Zool., 79: 207, doubted the distinctiveness of this taxon from Papurana. Synonymy with Sylvirana by Frost, Grant, Faivovich, Bain, Haas, Haddad, de Sá, Channing, Wilkinson, Donnellan, Raxworthy, Campbell, Blotto, Moler, Drewes, Nussbaum, Lynch, Green, and Wheeler, 2006, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 297: 248; with Papurana by Oliver, Prendini, Kraus, and Raxworthy, 2015, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 90: 188.

Comment
Removed from the synonymy of Hylarana by Oliver, Prendini, Kraus, and Raxworthy, 2015, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 90: 190 (who considered it the sister taxon of Hydrophylax), where it had been placed by Che, Pang, Zhao, Wu, Zhao, and Zhang, 2007, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 43: 3. See comment under Hylarana for access to relevant revisionary literature. Donnellan, Aplin, and Bertozzi, 2010, Zootaxa, 2496: 49-62, reported on phylogenetics of the New Guinean species, and noted that Papurana is paraphyletic with respect to Tylerana.
