Abstract

Investigations of the green frogs from western Europe for electrophoretic variations at 4 enzyme loci demonstrated a new form which must be considered as a hybrid between Rana ridibunda and R. perezi. Biochemical evidence supports the hypothesis that its reproduction is hybridogenetic, as it is for R. esculenta.
