Scaphiophryne
Scaphiophryne is a genus of microhylid frogs endemic to Madagascar.[1] Some of the species are strikingly marked, while others are highly cryptic. They are rather plump and generally found on the ground. Several species in the genus are threatened because of habitat loss and overcollection for the international pet trade.
