Long placed in Rana, it is only as closely related to this genus as is e.g. Amolops.
Consequently, the genus Hylarana, of which the common green frog is the type species, warrants re-establishment.
Hylarana seems to form a clade together with the similarly revalidated genera Pulchrana and Sylvirana, and presumably also Hydrophylax as well as some species presently placed in Pelophylax (e.g. Kokarit Frog, "P." lateralis).

This frog has confused researchers for a long time, as it resembles tree frogs in habitus.
It was initially placed in the tree frog genus Hyla.
The junior synonyms of the common green frog are:
Hyla erythraea Schlegel, 1837
Hylorana erythraea (lapsus)
Limnodytes erythraeus (Schlegel, 1837)
Polypedates erythraea (Schlegel, 1837)
Rana erythraea (Schlegel, 1837)
