Odontophrynidae is a family of frogs from southern and eastern South America.[1][2] This family was first established in 1969 as tribe Odontophrynini within the (then) very large Leptodactylidae family. Molecular phylogenetics analyses prompted the move of this group to Cycloramphidae in 2006, before it became recognized as its own family Odontophrynidae in 2011.[1][3]
Genera
There are three genera[1][2][3] with 52 species:[1]
- Macrogenioglottus Carvalho, 1946 (1 species)
- Odontophrynus Reinhardt and Lütken, 1862 (11 species)
- Proceratophrys Miranda-Ribeiro, 1920 (40 species)
