Humerana lateralis is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It is found in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. It is commonly known as Kokarit frog, yellow frog or (ambiguously) wood frog.[2][3]

Placed in Rana when this was still loosely circumscribed, it was since assigned to the "water frog" genus Pelophylax. However, it is not clear whether this is the most appropriate treatment, and the Kokarit frog might rather belong in Hylarana. In 2015, it was classified into Humerana based on phylogenetic evidence.[4] The supposed species Rana nigrolineata was recently determined to be a junior synonym of H. lateralis.[5][2]
