Copiula is a genus of microhylid frogs endemic to New Guinea. The common name Mehely frogs has been coined for them. [1] They are leaf-litter inhabitants. [2]
Copiula is probably not monophyletic. Some former Austrochaperina species have already been transferred to this genus, and further ones might follow when more data became available. [1] [3]
There are at present 14 species in this genus: [1]
The AmphibiaWeb [4] reports fewer species, with species that Peloso and colleagues moved in 2016 from Austrochaperina and Oxydactyla missing. [3]
