Discoglossidae (see family information on Tree of Life site)
Disc-tongued Frogs Discoglossidae is a small family of relatively aquatic frogs, confined to Europe and northwestern Africa. These frogs possess slit-like pupils and may be brightly patterned. The genus Discoglossus resembles frogs of the genus Rana in its smooth skin texture. Discoglossid frogs emerge at night from underground burrows which they construct by digging headfirst. Females of some species vocalize in response to a male’s call.
