Ceuthomantinae Heinicke, Duellman, Trueb, Means, MacCulloch, and Hedges, 2009
Ceuthomantidae Heinicke, Duellman, Trueb, Means, MacCulloch, and Hedges, 2009, Zootaxa, 2211: 6. Type genus: Ceuthomantis Heinicke, Duellman, Trueb, Means, MacCulloch, and Hedges, 2009.
Pristimantinae Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 580. Nomen nudum.
Pristimantinae Ohler and Dubois, 2012, Alytes, 28: 165. Type genus: Pristimantis Jiménez de la Espada, 1870, by original designation. Synonymy by Padial, Grant, and Frost, 2014, Zootaxa, 3825: 53, but in error considering Pristimantinae the appropriate name for this taxon even though it is junior to Ceuthomantinae.

Comment
Ceuthomantidae (in the sense of only including Ceuthomantis) was considered the sister taxon of the remaining members of Terrarana/Brachycephaloidea (Craugastoridae and Eleutherodactylidae of this catalogue) according to the original publication. Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 543–583, confirmed this relationship using similar inferential methods and a largely similar dataset. Padial, Grant, and Frost, 2014, Zootaxa, 3825: 125, discovered that that this topology was highly alignment and tree-building method dependent and transferred Ceuthomantis into Pristimantinae, for which the name Ceuthomantinae is the oldest name. Blackburn and Wake, 2011, In Zhang (ed.), Zootaxa, 3148: 39–55, briefly reviewed the nomenclatural history of this taxon prior to the fusion of former Pristimantinae and Ceuthomantidae. Cole, Townsend, Reynolds, MacCulloch, and Lathrop, 2013, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 125: 317–578, provided identification keys and accounts for the species in Guyana.
