Neobatrachia are a suborder of order Anura, i.e. of frogs or toads. As the name suggests, this suborder, of the three, is the newest (neo-). It is also the largest, with more than 5,000 different species making up over 96% of all frogs.

The differentiation between Archaeobatrachia, Mesobatrachia, and Neobatrachia - which is a bit controversial, and as more research is done and more knowledge is gained is even becoming less clear, because many characteristics used for this differentiation apply to more than one group - is mainly based primarily anatomic differences, especially the skeletal structure as well as several visible characteristics and behaviors. Neobatrachia are generally sorted into three superfamilies - although this division is also controversial, as some families are classified into different superfamilies, depending on who is asked. The following three superfamilies are usually classified into the following superfamilies: [1] Families Ascaphidae Bombinatoridae Discoglossidae Leiopelmatidae Archaeobatrachia are a suborder of anura containing various frog and toad like organisms. ... Families Megophryidae Pelobatidae Pelodytidae Scaphiopodidae Rhinophrynidae Pipidae Mesobatrachia is the second largest of the anura suborders. ...

Neobatrachia (1136 words)
Ford and Cannatella (1993) applied the node-based name Neobatrachia to the most recent common ancestor of living hyloids (myobatrachids, leptodactylids, bufonids, hylids, centrolenids, pseudids, sooglossids, Heleophryne, brachycephalids, Rhinoderma, and Allophryne) and Ranoidea, and all its descendants.
Some recent classifications divided Neobatrachia into three superfamilies: Bufonoidea (=Hyloidea), Ranoidea, and Microhyloidea (Duellman, 1975; Laurent, 1986), but relationships among the clades within these groups are not clear.
In a phylogenetic analysis of osteological characters of Neobatrachia, Ford (1989b) found hyloids to be paraphyletic with respect to Ranoidea, including Microhylidae.
Salientia (2810 words)
The informal term archaeobatrachian is a convenient term for anurans that are not part of Neobatrachia.
However, her sampling of taxa is not sufficient to provide strong support for this clade, especially in light of the synapomorphies supporting other arrangements.
A derived character that refutes the monophyly of Mesobatrachia is the fusion of the third distal carpal to other carpals, which Pelodytes shares with Neobatrachia (Cannatella, 1985).
