Nyctimantis Boulenger, 1882

TYPE SPECIES: Nyctimantis rugiceps Boulenger, 1882 , by monotypy.

DIAGNOSIS: Molecular autapomorphies include 139 transformations in mitochondrial protein and ribosomal genes. See appendix 5 for a complete list of these molecular synapomorphies. Possible morphological autapomorphies are the development of an irregular orbital flange in the frontoparietal, and the sphenethmoid almost completely concealed dorsally by the frontoparietals and nasals (Duellman and Trueb, 1976).
