First Record of the Genus Wijayarana(Anura,Ranidae)from Yunnan,China

Dear Editor, The family Ranidae is one of the largest and most families of amphibians(Che et al.,2007),with 64 recognized genera and 429 species(Frost,2022).However,the systematics and natural history of some ranid groups have not been well-studied.One such example is the taxonomic relationship between Sylvirana,Hylarana and other closely-related taxa(Che et al.,2007;Pyron and Wiens,2011;Oliver et al.,2015).China has a large diversity of ranid frogs,with 146 species belonging to 7 genera,and 48 species belonging to 7 genera in the southern province of Yunnan(AmphibiaChina,2022).
