List of Anura (Amphibia) of Sudan

The list of Anura of Sudan is a compilation of field work data in various ecosystems of Sudan and deskwork. The study revealed 29 anuran species were of definite occurrence in Sudan and seven more species are of possible occurrence. Anurans of the Sudan are poorly known, except for Sclerophyrus regularis which is a dissection, parasitological and physiological model animal in universities laboratory classes and research work. Even though, S. regularis is widely misclassified with other species of the genus such as S. maculatus and S. xeros. Therefore, deeper investigation of the anuran fauna and its taxonomy are required.
