The Odontophrynidae are a family of frogs from southern and eastern South America.[1][2] This family was first established in 1969 as the tribe Odontophrynini within the (then) very large family Leptodactylidae. Molecular phylogenetics analyses prompted the move of this group to the Cycloramphidae in 2006, before they became recognized as their own family Odontophrynidae in 2011.[1][3]

Genera

The genera[1][2][3] with 52 species are:[1]

Macrogenioglottus Carvalho, 1946 (one species)
Odontophrynus Reinhardt and Lütken, 1862 (11 species)
Proceratophrys Miranda-Ribeiro, 1920 (40 species)

gollark: I mean, cars are very scary, several-ton metal boxes hurtling down roads at several tens of metres per second.

gollark: I am still an ageless entity from beyond space and time, Ly¶icly.

gollark: I don't actually have a driving license because of never actually learning to drive cars at all.

gollark: It isn't proof. I could obviously be lying to you.

gollark: Even though I cannot actually vote, drink alcohol in most situations, or drive a car.
