Short description: Extinct species of amphibian

Pelophylax pueyoi is an extinct species of large frog from Late Miocene of Spain. Initially classified as a member of the "green frog" complex within the genus Rana, it has since been reclassified into the genus Pelophylax as that genus has been split from Rana.^[1]^[2]

It is known from a Konservat-Lagerstätte in the Libros sulphur mines of Teruel, where it is abundant.^[3]^[4] Fossils of both adults and tadpoles are known.^[5]
