Aubria is a small genus of frogs, with two (possibly three) known species. All members of this genus are found in West Africa. Their common name is ball frogs or fishing frogs.
Etymology The genus name Aubria is in honour of Charles Eugène Aubry-Lecomte, a French colonial administrator and amateur naturalist.
Species The recognized species are: Aubria masako (Ohler & Kazadi, 1990) - Masako fishing frog Aubria subsigillata (Duméril, 1856) - brown ball frog
The status of A. occidentalis is disputed; following the Amphibian Species of the World it is here treated as a synonym of A. subsigillata.
