Multiple amplexus, consisting of one female and two or more males, was registered in three species: Bombina variegata, Bufo bufo, Rana temporaria. The author described interspecific amplexus in six cases. Five of them were among anurans (Bufo bufo male × Pelophylax lessonae male, Rana dalmatina males × Rana temporaria female or males, Rana temporaria male × Pelophylax ridibundus female) and one case — among Anura and Caudata (Bombina variegata male × Lissotriton montandoni female).
