Ranidae (True Frogs II)
Egg deposition is in the water. However, details
such as egg mass and mode of deposition remain
unknown for most species.
However, species of Meristogenys attach their eggs in a layer over submerged rocks in the current. Meristogenys and Huia tadpoles possess a belly sucker and can live in torrential waters of cascading, clear mountain streams.
The known tadpoles of the genus Staurois are highly specialized leaf litter burrowers.

The contents of the family Ranidae have changed
several times during the past few years (and we
might see further changes in the future). We use
here the current definition of Ranidae with 23
Bornean species. Other species formerly assigned to
the Ranidae have been transferred to the families
Dicroglossidae and Ceratobatrachidae.
Bornean ranids inhabit the forest floor and lower vegetation. They comprise medium to large species.
