Phylogeny of
Walkerana
and generic allocation of the new lineage
Among the members of
Ranixalidae
, we recovered two well supported clades assignable to the genera,
Walkerana
and
Indirana
, as in the studies of
Dahanukar
et al.
(2016)
and
Garg & Biju (2016)
. The new deeply divergent lineage is assigned to the genus
Walkerana
, based on its phylogenetic position within
Ranixalidae
(
