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: You're not going to overturn extremely well-established scientific laws with some weird apparatus and some water.

gollark: (unless this is satire, I'm terrible at detecting satire)
gollark: I don't understand the picture, but no, you have probably not stumbled on some simple solution for infinite energy which everyone else somehow missed.
