Plethodontohyla is a genus of
endemic to Madagascar.[1]
Species
There are at present 11 species:[1][2][3]
- Plethodontohyla alluaudi (Mocquard, 1901)
- Plethodontohyla bipunctata (Guibé, 1974)
- Plethodontohyla brevipes Boulenger, 1882
- Plethodontohyla fonetana Glaw, Köhler, Bora, Rabibisoa, Ramilijaona, and Vences, 2007
- Plethodontohyla guentheri Glaw and Vences, 2007
- Plethodontohyla inguinalis Boulenger, 1882
- Plethodontohyla laevis (Boettger, 1913)
- Plethodontohyla mihanika Vences, Raxworthy, Nussbaum, and Glaw, 2003
- Plethodontohyla notosticta (Günther, 1877)
- Plethodontohyla ocellata Noble and Parker, 1926
- Plethodontohyla tuberata (Peters, 1883)
Taxonomy
The following species were formerly classed as Plethodontoyhla species but have since been moved to the genus Rhombophryne:
- Rhombophryne coronata (Vences & Glaw, 2003)
- Rhombophryne guentherpetersi (Guibé, 1974)
- Rhombophryne laevipes (Mocquard, 1895)
- Rhombophryne minuta (Guibé, 1975)
- Rhombophryne serratopalpebrosa (Guibé, 1975)
The taxon Plethodontohyla alluaudi was moved to Rhombophryne by Frost et al. in 2006,[4] but was transferred back to Plethodontohyla after review of its taxonomic status in early 2018,[3] along with the newly resurrected Plethodontohyla laevis. In addition, the species Rhombophryne matavy was erroneously transferred to Plethodontohyla in 2016[5] based on a misidentified DNA sequence, and was later transferred back to Rhombophryne.[6]
