Genera
Paradoxophyla
Paradoxophyla is a small genus of microhylid frogs endemic to Madagascar. [more]
Scaphiophryne
Scaphiophryne is a genus of microhylid frogs that are endemic to Madagascar. 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 over-collection for the international pet trade. [more]
At least 11 species and subspecies belong to the Genus Scaphiophryne.
