Comment
Tyler, 1976, Rec. W. Aust. Mus., 4: 45, Daugherty and Maxson, 1982, Herpetologica, 38: 345, Maxson and Roberts, 1985, J. Zool., London, 207: 289-300, and Read, Keogh, Scott, Roberts, and Doughty, 2001, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 21: 294-308, considered Arenophryne the sister taxon of Myobatrachus. But, see comment under Metacrinia. See Barker, Grigg, and Tyler, 1995, Field Guide Aust. Frogs., Ed. 2, for keys and accounts. Frost, Grant, Faivovich, Bain, Haas, Haddad, de Sá, Channing, Wilkinson, Donnellan, Raxworthy, Campbell, Blotto, Moler, Drewes, Nussbaum, Lynch, Green, and Wheeler, 2006, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat.
