The European spadefoot toads are small to large sized frogs.

The European spadefoot toads are a family of frogs, the Pelobatidae.

Frogs are the most commonly taken amphibians; in the Voronezh region, they frequently eat fire-bellied toads, while European spadefoot toads are usually taken in Ukraine.

The European spadefoot toads are a family of frogs, the Pelobatidae.

The Pelobatidae include the Pelobates genus, and Scaphiopodidae the rest.

Pelobates cultripes, sometimes called the Western Spadefoot, is a toad species in the family Pelobatidae.

Pelobates fuscus is a species of toad in the family Pelobatidae, native to an area extending from Central Europe to Western Asia.

Morphological variation and ecological distribution of co-occurring larval forms of Oreolalax (Anura: Pelobatidae).

A new species of frog of the genus Leptobrachella Smith (Anura:Pelobatidae), with a key to the species from Borneo.

In taxonomy, toads are spread across families Bufonidae, Bombinatoridae, Discoglossidae, Pelobatidae, Rhinophrynidae, Scaphiopodidae, and Microhylidae.

The distribution covers Europe, North Africa and West Asia (Family Pelobatidae) and Southeast Asia (family Megophryidae).

Spea species were once classified with their European cousins in the family Pelobatidae, but have since been reclassified to their own family, Scaphiopodidae with other North American species.

The seven species of American spadefoot toads (genera Scaphiopus and Spea) were previously also included into the Pelobatidae family, but are now generally regarded as the separate family Scaphiopodidae.

The six families in the more evolutionarily advanced suborder Mesobatrachia consist of the fossorial Megophryidae, Pelobatidae, Pelodytidae, Scaphiopodidae and Rhinophrynidae and the obligatorily aquatic Pipidae.

The Moroccan Spadefoot Toad, Varaldi's Spadefoot Toad, Pélobate De Varaldi, or Pélobate Marocain (Pelobates varaldii) is a species of frog in the Pelobatidae family.

The families Discoglossidae, Pipidae and Pelobatidae are ecologically isolated, the harlequin frogs, restricted to a neotropical range in Central and South America, and the Ranidae and Bufonidae probably radiated from tropical regions of Africa and Asia.
