Comment
In the Rana temporaria group according to the original publication. Considered by Veith, Kosuch, and Vences, 2003, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 26: 310-327, to be the sister taxon of Rana temporaria (sensu lato, as including Rana honnorati and Rana aragonensis). Arnold, 2002, Rept. Amph. Eur., Ed. 2: 81-82, provided a brief account, figure, and map. Serra-Cobo, 1997, in Pleguezuelos (ed.), Dist. Biogeogr. Anf. Rep. Esp. Portugal: 167-168, provided a brief account, photograph, and detailed map. Carranza and Arribas, 2008, Amphibia-Reptilia, 29: 579-582, reported on the genetic homogeneity of the species. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status (as Rana pueblae) in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 510. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 510. Speybroeck, Beukema, Bok, and Van Der Voort, 2016, Field Guide Amph. Rept. Brit. Eur.: 172–173, provided a brief account and range map. See Dufresnes, 2019, Amph. Eur., N. Afr., & Middle East: 94, for brief summary of identifying morphology and biology, a range map, as well as a photograph.
