Sooglossidae
Family of amphibians / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sooglossidae, the Seychelles frogs or Seychelles Island frogs, are a family of frogs found on the Seychelles Islands.[1] Until recently, this family was believed to include the genera Sechellophryne, Nesomantis and Sooglossus, but following a major revision of amphibians in 2006,[2] the genus Nesomantis was named a junior synonym of Sooglossus.[3] Their closest relatives are the purple frogs (Nasikabatrachidae) of India.[4]
