Latonia is a genus of frogs in the family Alytidae (formerly Discoglossidae). It contains only one extant species, the Hula painted frog [ 1] which is endemic to Israel and was originally classified in the genus Discoglossus ,[ 2] though several fossil species are known from the Paleogene and Neogene periods (Upper Oligocene to Early Pleistocene ) spanning across Europe .[ 3] [ 4] [ 5]
