Acris Duméril and Bibron, 1841

TYPE SPECIES: Rana gryllus LeConte, 1825 , by subsequent designation of Fitzinger (1843).

DIAGNOSIS: This genus is diagnosed by 138 transformations in nuclear and mitochondrial proteins and ribosomal genes. See appendix 5 for a complete list of these molecular synapomorphies. Other apparent synapomorphies include the differentiation of the m. intermandibularis into an apical supplementary element (Tyler, 1971), and diploid chromosome number of 22 (Bushnell et al., 1939; Cole, 1966; Duellman, 1970).
