Comment

Lynch, 1971, Misc. Publ. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 53, considered the genus to be a junior synonym of Odontophrynus, but later Lynch, 1973, Bioscience, 23: 497, reversed this decision. Silva, Haddad, and Kasahara, 2003, Bol. Mus. Nac., Rio de Janeiro, N.S., Zool., 499: 1-9, discussed the phylogenetic position of this taxon relative to the Bufonidae and Leptodactylidae (sensu lato) and suggested a distant relationship to Bufonidae, and retained this genus in Leptodactylidae (sensu lato). Amaro, Pavan, and Rodrigues, 2009, Zootaxa, 2071: 61-68, provided molecular evidence that recognition of this taxon renders Odontophrynus paraphyletic, with Odontophrynus carvalhoi the closest relative. Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 543-583, suggested that Macrogenioglottus is the sister taxon of Odontophrynus, at least based on their selection of exemplar species.
