Euphlyctis ehrenbergii (Arabian five-fingered frog or Arabian skittering frog) is a species of frog in the Dicroglossidae family found in Saudi Arabia and Yemen. It has been treated as a subspecies of Euphlyctis cyanophlyctis, but is now considered as a valid species.[2] E. ehrenbergii is restricted to areas of permanent and temporary water in the Red Sea coast of Yemen and Saudi Arabia. A very aquatic species, it can also be present in irrigated areas.[1]
