Genus Cryptobatrachus Ruthven, 1916

Type species: Cryptobatrachus boulengeri Ruthven, 1916 , by original designation.

Remarks: Cryptobatrachus nicefori Cochran and Goin, 1970 from Colombia was excluded from the genus by Infante-Rivero et al. (2009), despite Lynch’s (2008) contrary opinion, and placed into Hyla incertae sedis. In their recent phylogenetic analysis Castroviejo et al. (2015) inferred Cryptobatrachus as sister of Flectonotus and included these two genera in Cryptobatrachinae .
