English: Andes Frogs
Bryophryne is a genus of craugastorid frogs. These frogs are endemic to southeastern Peru in the Cusco Region,[1][2] with an undescribed species from the Puno Region.[3] Their range is separated from that of Phrynopus by the Apurímac River valley.[2]
Taxonomy
Bryophryne was erected in 2008 to accommodate two species that were in Phrynopus at that time;[1][2] subfamily Holoadeninae was erected at the same time and placed in Strabomantidae.[1] However, Strabomantidae has been put in synonymy of Craugastoridae.[4] Nevertheless, the AmphibiaWeb keeps Holoadeninae (and by implication, Bryophryne) in Strabomantidae.[5]
Description
Bryophryne are smallish frogs, reaching maximum snout–vent length of 29.3 mm (1.15 in) in Bryophryne cophites.[3] Head is narrower than the body. Differentiated tympanic membrane, tympanic annulus, columella, and cavum tympanicum are absent. Dorsum is finely areolate whereas venter is coarsly areolate.[1]
Species
The following species are recognised in the genus Bryophryne:[2]
Bryophryne abramalagae Lehr and Catenazzi, 2010
Bryophryne bakersfield Chaparro, Padial, Gutiérrez, and De la Riva, 2015
Bryophryne bustamantei (Chaparro, De la Riva, Padial, Ochoa, and Lehr, 2007)
Bryophryne cophites (Lynch, 1975)
Bryophryne flammiventris Lehr and Catenazzi, 2010

Bryophryne quellokunka De la Riva, Chaparro, Castroviejo-Fisher, and Padial, 2017

Bryophryne wilakunka De la Riva, Chaparro, Castroviejo-Fisher, and Padial, 2017
Bryophryne zonalis Lehr and Catenazzi, 2009
A recent proposal was suggested that Bryophryne be divided, with three species from southern Peru being assigned to the new genus Qosqophryne.[6][7] The species are Bryophryne flammiventris, Bryophryne gymnotis, and Bryophryne mancoinca. A phylogenetic analysis found Qosqophryne as sister to the genus Microkayla and that this clade was more closely related to Noblella and Psychrophrynella than to other species in Bryophryne.[6]
