Paralatonia transylvanica was named by Venczel and Csiki (2003). Its type specimen is FGGUB v. 455, a limb element (Partial left ilium missing most of iliac shaft and supraacetabular expansion), and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Vălioara-Budurone (VB), which is in a Maastrichtian wet floodplain mudstone/sandstone in the Densuş-Ciula Formation of Romania. It is the type species of Paralatonia.

Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| M. Venczel and Z. Csiki 2003 | A small discoglossid frog having an inferred snout−vent length of about 40–50 mm. The ilium of Paralatonia differs from Hatzegobatrachus, as well as from Alytinae, Bombinatorinae, and Gobiatinae discoglossids in having prominent iliac crest. Differs from Callobatrachus and Enneabatrachus in having a higher iliac crest. Differs from Discoglossus in having a smaller preacetabular process. Differs from Eodiscoglossus in having a more expanded acetabular rim and by presence of an iliac synchondrosis. Differs from Latoglossus and Latonia in having a comparatively smaller inferred body size and by lack of waisting between the acetabular region and iliac shaft. Differs from Paradiscoglossus in having shallower supraacetabular fossa anda more expanded acetabular rim. Differs from Wealdenbatrachus in the lack of waisting between the acetabular region andthe iliac shaft, andin having smaller iliac synchondrosis. |
