Bryophryne is a genus of craugastorid frogs. These frogs are endemic to southeastern Peru in the Cusco Region,[1][2] with an undescribed species from the Puno Region.[3] Their range is separated from that of Phrynopus by the Apurímac River valley.[2]

Taxonomy[]

Bryophryne was erected in 2008 to accommodate two species that were in Phrynopus at that time;[1][2] subfamily Holoadeninae was erected at the same time and placed in Strabomantidae.[1] However, Strabomantidae has been put in synonymy of Craugastoridae.[4] Nevertheless, the AmphibiaWeb keeps Holoadeninae (and by implication, Bryophryne) in Strabomantidae.[5]

Description[]

Bryophryne are smallish frogs, reaching maximum snout–vent length of 29.3 mm (1.15 in) in Bryophryne cophites.[3] Head is narrower than the body. Differentiated tympanic membrane, tympanic annulus, columella, and cavum tympanicum are absent. Dorsum is finely areolate whereas venter is coarsly areolate.[1]

Species[]

The following species are recognised in the genus Bryophryne:[2]

A recent proposal was suggested that Bryophryne be divided, with three species from southern Peru being assigned to the new genus .[6][7] The species are Bryophryne flammiventris, Bryophryne gymnotis, and Bryophryne mancoinca. A phylogenetic analysis found Qosqophryne as sister to the genus and that this clade was more closely related to Noblella and Psychrophrynella than to other species in Bryophryne.[6]
