Fejervarya

14 species, see text Fejervarya is a genus of frogs in the family Dicroglossidae found in Asia.

Species such as the crab-eating frog (F. cancrivora) can thrive in brackish water, and its tadpoles can even survive in pure seawater.

This issue was eventually resolved in 2011 by splitting some species to the genus Zakerana (renamed in 2021 as Minervarya).

Fejervarya, as now defined, is distributed from eastern India (Orissa) eastwards through Myanmar to southern China and Indochina to the islands of the Sunda Shelf as well as Japan.

[3] In contrast, Minervarya contains species from southern Asia (Sri Lanka and Indian subcontinent including Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh).

This specimen from the Javadi Hills of Tamil Nadu , India, resembles the Cricket Frog ( F. limnocharis ) of Indonesia, but its origin suggests that it does not belong to that species, and perhaps not even in the genus Fejervarya sensu stricto .
