The Euro-American genus Eopelobates, and a re-definition of the family Pelobatidae (Amphibia, Anura)

Original language description

The extinct Eopelobates (Eocene of western North America; Eocene?Pliocene of Europe) and Pelobates (Oligocene?Recent of Europe; Recent of northern Africa and the Middle East) are anurans that are united within the family Pelobatidae mainly on the basis of a unique, tripartite frontoparietal complex. Eopelobates appears earlier in the fossil record (early Eocene vs. late Oligocene) and it is more primitive in lacking many of the features associated with fossoriality in extant Pelobates. The taxonomic composition of Eopelobates has been contentious and at least one putative new species has long been recognised, but never formally named. Here, we provide updated taxonomic accounts for Pelobatoidea, Pelobatidae, Pelobates, and Eopelobates and document development within a series of tadpoles and juveniles of E. bayeri from Bechlejovice (late Oligocene in age), Czech Republic. We also provide updated accounts for the five previously named and currently accepted species of Eopelobates. Micro-
