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]
