Megophryidae, commonly known as goose frogs, is a large family of frogs native to the warm southeast of Asia, from the Himalayan foothills eastwards, south to Indonesia and the Greater Sunda Islands in Maritime Southeast Asia, and extending to the Philippines.[1] Fossil remains are also known from North America.[2] As of 2014[update] it encompasses 246 species of frogs divided between five genera.[3] For lack of a better vernacular name, they are commonly called megophryids.
