Sphenophryne
Sphenophryne is a genus of frogs in the family Microhylidae from New Guinea.[1] It reached its current composition in 2017 when Rivera and colleagues brought the genera Genyophryne, Liophryne, and Oxydactyla into synonymy of the then-monotypic Sphenophryne.[1][2] However, the AmphibiaWeb continues to recognize these genera as valid.[3]

gollark: I would be very surprised if they did.
gollark: It's a thing which finds certain kinds of thing so it can remove them if they cause problems in some way.
