Subfamily
Otophryninae
Wassersug and Pyburn, 1987
Remarks:
Status of subfamily discussed in Wild (1995). De Sá et al. (2012) and
Peloso et al. (2016)
reviewed the taxonomy of
Microhylidae
and both recognize a monophyletic
Otophryninae
containing
Otophryne
and
Synapturanus
. De Sá et al. (2012) found
Otophryninae
well embedded into the family whereas
Peloso et al. (2016)
found support for a sister taxon relationship of
Otophryninae
,
Gastrophryninae
, and
Adelastinae
, thus providing evidence for the monophyly of New World microhylids. Current authors believe
Adelastes
(currently in
Adelastinae
) should be considered as in
Otophryninae
.
