Macropelobates is an extinct genus of prehistoric frogs. It was described by Gladwyn Kingsley Noble based on material from Oligocene of Mongolia.[1]
Species
The genus contains two species:[2]
- Macropelobates linquensis (J. Yang, 1977) — Shandong, China[3]
- Macropelobates osborni Noble, 1924 — Tsagan Nor Basin, Mongolia[1]
The two species are similar, however, and might be synonymous.[3]
