Amphignathodontidae
Family of amphibians / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Marsupial frog" redirects here. For the species in the genus Gastrotheca, see Horned marsupial frog.
The marsupial frogs are a disputed family (Amphignathodontidae) in the order Anura.[1] When treated as a separate family, it consists of two genera, Gastrotheca and Flectonotus.[2] The frogs are native to Neotropical America (Central and South America). Under the dominant view, they are treated as part of the family of Hemiphractidae.[1][3][4]
