Plethodontohyla is a genus of microhylid frogs endemic to Madagascar. [1]
There are at present 11 species: [1] [2] [3]
The following species were formerly classed as Plethodontoyhla species but have since been moved to the genus Rhombophryne:
The taxon Plethodontohyla alluaudi was moved to Rhombophryne by Frost et al. in 2006, [4] but was transferred back to Plethodontohyla after review of its taxonomic status in early 2018, [3] along with the newly resurrected Plethodontohyla laevis. In addition, the species Rhombophryne matavy was erroneously transferred to Plethodontohyla in 2016 [5] based on a misidentified DNA sequence, and was later transferred back to Rhombophryne. [6]
