Comment

Association of Atopophrynus, Dischidodactylus, Euparkerella, and Geobatrachus was made provisionally with this taxon by Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 1–182, substantially on the basis of geography (p. 97). Padial, Castroviejo-Fisher, and De la Riva, 2009, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 52: 911–915, provided molecular evidence for the monophyly of the group. Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 543–583, redelimited the group, suggested that it might be the sister taxon of Pristimantinae, and excluded taxa not included on the basis of character evidence. Canedo and Haddad, 2012, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 65: 610–620, suggested that Strabomantinae may be the sister taxon of Holoadeninae. Padial, Grant, and Frost, 2014, Zootaxa, 3825: 53, transferred Hypodactylus, Lynchius, Oreobates, and Phrynopus into this subfamily, noted that no morphological synapomorphies are apparent although they did discuss relationships uncovered by molecular analysis that had been previously discovered by study of morphology. Venegas, Barboza, De la Riva, and Padial, 2018, Zootaxa, 4446: 501–524, provided a tree of the members of Holoadeninae. Catenazzi, Mamani, Lehr, and von May, 2020, Diversity, 12 (184): 1–17, reported on molecular phylogenetics of the group. Motta, Taucce, Haddad, and Canedo, 2021, J. Zool. Syst. Evol. Res., 59: 663–679, discussed the phylogenetics of the genera within the group and the group within Brachycephaloidea. Chaves, Hepp, Schrago, and Mello, 2024, Frontiers in Bioinformatics, 2024.1441373: 1-9, provided a time-tree of a small number of exemplars of the group based on RAG1, TYR, POMC, and COI genes, but because of the sparse taxon sampling did not address the nonmonophyly of Noblella, Ischnocnema, and Psychrophrynella suggested by Brito-Zapata, Chávez-Reyes, Pallo-Robles, Carrión-Olmedo, Cisneros-Heredia, and Reyes-Puig, 2024, PeerJ, 12(e17939): 1–29. von May, Diaz, Ttito, Santa-Cruz Farfan, and Catenazzi, 2024, Diversity, 16 (613): 1–15, followed closely with the addition of Noblella peruviana (the type species of Noblella) and Noblella bagrecito (the type species of Psychrophrynella) to their molecular study and on that basis placed Psychophrynella into the synonymy of Noblella and resurrected Phyllonastes to accommodate the northern clade of former Noblella species.
