The two subfamilies contain 231 species in 13–15 genera, depending on the source.[3][1]
Dicroglossinae Anderson, 1871 — 211 species in 12 genera:[4]
Occidozyginae Fei, Ye, and Huang, 1990 — 20 species in two genera:[5]
The following phylogeny of Dicroglossidae is from Pyron & Wiens (2011).[6] Dicroglossidae is a sister group of Ranixalidae.[6]
