'''''Shelania''''' is an extinct [[genus]] of [[frog]]s that lived in [[South America]] during the [[Eocene]]. Its [[type species]] is ''Shelania pascuali''. Fossils of ''Shelania'' have been found in the [[Mustersan]] [[Vaca Mahuida Formation|Vaca Mahuida]] and [[Laguna del Hunco Formation]]s of [[Argentina]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://paleobiodb.org/classic/checkTaxonInfo?taxon_no=37439 |title=†''Shelania'' Casamiquela 1960 |work=Paleobiology Database |publisher=Fossilworks |access-date=17 December 2021}}</ref> '''''Shelania''''' is the type taxon of the Shelaniinae, which was erected for an unranked [[clade]] (defined in the context of [[phylogenetic nomenclature]], although not in conformity with the [[PhyloCode]], which was implemented later) that also includes the early anurans ''[[Saltenia]]'', ''Kuruleufenia'', and ''Patagopipa''.<ref name="Rolando et al. 2019">{{cite journal |last1=Rolando |first1=Alexis M.
