Hamptophryne (common name: bleating frogs) is a small genus of microhylid frogs from South America.[1] The genus was previously monotypic, but because of the close phylogenetic relationship between Hamptophryne and Altigius, another monotypic genus, the latter was placed in synonymy with Hamptophryne in 2012.[2]
Species
[edit]There are two species in the genus:[1][3]
- Hamptophryne alios (Wild, 1995)
- Hamptophryne boliviana (Parker, 1927)
