Aubria is a small genus of frogs, with two (possibly three[1]) known species. All members of this genus are found in West Africa. Their common name is ball frogs or fishing frogs.[2]
Etymology
[edit | edit source]The genus name Aubria is in honour of Charles Eugène Aubry-Lecomte, a French colonial administrator and amateur naturalist.[3]
Species
[edit | edit source]The recognized species are:[2]
- Aubria masako (Ohler & Kazadi, 1990) - Masako fishing frog
- Aubria subsigillata (Duméril, 1856) - brown ball frog
The status of A. occidentalis is disputed; following the Amphibian Species of the World[4] it is here treated as a synonym of A. subsigillata.
