Rhombophryne is a genus of microhylid frogs endemic to Madagascar. It is currently estimated to include at least 17 species,[1] but only 14 of these are currently described.[1][2][3][4][5] At least one species group, the R. serratopalpebrosa group, is recognised, containing members of the genus that possess superciliary spines (spines above the eyes).[5]
