The Parsley frog or Pelodytidae are a family of order Anura. The family consists of a single genus, Pelodytes, which contains five species, two of which are extinct. These frogs can be found in south-western Europe and the Caucasus. The common name of "parsley frog" comes from the frog's colouring, as it appears to be garnished with chopped parsley.
The parsley frogs are small, smooth-skinned frogs, reaching a length of . They are one of the few families of frogs which contain more known extinct species and genera (two or three) than extant species. Although now found only in the Palearctic realm, fossils of a mid-Miocene species were also found in North America. The males will also develop dark tubercles on the skin covering the stomach area. This group of eggs is called a clutch and is generally made up of around 400 eggs but varies greatly.
