Taxonomy and systematics
editThe genus Glandirana was split off from Rana. All species, except the more recently described Glandirana susurra and Glandirana reliquia, were originally included in Rana; some of them were placed in genus Rugosa, which is now synonymized with Glandirana. Although the monophyly of the genus has been questioned, it is supported by recent molecular work. Glandirana is considered likely to be a sister taxon of the genus Hylarana.[2]

editThe following species are recognised in the genus Glandirana:[2]
- Glandirana emeljanovi (Nikolskii, 1913)
- Glandirana minima (Ting and T'sai, 1979)
