Amphibian Genera

The genus-rank taxa of the amphibians: the frogs and toads, the salamanders and newts, and the caecilians. Covers every genus-rank taxon entity in this atlas identified by its own sourced description as an amphibian genus under the standard herpetological classification ITIS and the Catalogue of Life both follow, among them the true toads of Bufo and Anaxyrus, the South American toads of Rhinella, and the tree frogs of Hyla and Dryophytes. A small subcategory by the sample currently catalogued in this atlas, not a real-world ceiling: the true number of described amphibian genera is larger, and this subcategory is expected to grow as the atlas mints more amphibian taxa, per ruling 792's comprehensive-coverage target.
