See text Bombinatoridae is a family of toads found in Eurasia.

The earliest fossil specimens are Eobarbourula from the Eocene of India, and Hatzegobatrachus from Late Cretaceous of Hateg island, Romania.

The genus Barbourula was considered to be situated intermediate between Discoglossus and Bombina, but closer to the latter, so was added to the Bombinatoridae when that family was split from the Discoglossidae.

Currently, there are two extant and at least two extinct genera recognised in the family Bombinatoridae:[1] Bombina species are warty, aquatic toads about 7 cm (2.8 in) in length, and most noted for their bright bellies.

[2] The vocal behavior of some Bombina species are unusual in that the call is produced during inhalation rather than exhalation as in other frogs.
