  Leptodactylidae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leptodactylidae are a diverse family of frogs in the suborder Neobatrachia.
The family is often considered paraphyletic because all its members share a common ancestor but Leptodactylidae does not include all the descendants of that ancestor.
Several of the genera with the Leptodactylidae genera lay their eggs in foam nests.

 'Leptodactylidae'
The distribution of living members of the family Leptodactylidae is indicated in red.
"Leptodactylidae" comprises those non-myobatrachid hyloids that lack particular derived features traditionally considered to be indicators of family status, such as intercalary cartilages (Hylidae, Pseudidae, and Centrolenidae) and Bidder's organ (Bufonidae).
No synapomorphies for "Leptodactylidae" have been proposed, and Ford (1989b) found the group to be grossly paraphyletic.

 The Migration Route of the Australian Marsupial Fauna. Presidential Address. by Launcelot Harrison
Matthew claims a northern derivation for the Australian marsupials, and incidentally considers the distribution of crayfish and frogs, two groups which have been used extensively for the purpose of arguing a southern connection between Australia and South America.
As the distribution of these families in Australia and South America has hitherto been one of the strongest arguments in favour of a former land connection, it is necessary that careful consideration should be given to their views.
This action has not had time to draw upon itself the requisite criticism which will decide whether it be well founded or no. It does, however, enable Noble to claim a continuity of Bufonidae from Asia into Australia which, on closer analysis, does not exist.
