Hungarobatrachus (meaning " Hungarian frog") is an extinct genus of advanced frog, which lived during the upper Cretaceous period ( Santonian age) in what is now Hungary. It was described in 2010 from isolated ilia and tibio-fibulae recovered from the Iharkút locality in the Csehbánya Formation. This genus was named by Zoltán Szentesi and Márton Venczel in 2010, and the type species is Hungarobatrachus szukacsi. [1] While originally interpreted as a member of Ranoidea, a later study based on new ilia and skull bones found it to be a member of Hyloidea instead. [2]
