Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| M. Venczel and Z. Csiki 2003 | A small−sized anuran having an inferred snout-vent length of about 30 mm. Differs from Ascaphus, Leiopelma, Mesophryne, Notobatrachus, Prosalirus, pelobatoids, and some pipoids (Rhadinosteus), in having a well−developed dorsal protuberance of ilium. Differs from discoglossids (including Alytes, Callobatrachus, Discoglossus, Enneabatrachus, Eodiscoglossus, Latoglossus, Latonia, Paradiscoglossus, and Wealdenbatrachus), palaeobatrachids, and most pipids in the absence of an individualised dorsal iliac crest. Resembles Bombinatorinae in having a well−developed and undivided dorsal prominence, but differs from them in having its dorso−lateral margin more thickened. Differs from Bombinatorinae and Gobiatinae in the absence of any waisting between the acetabular region and the iliac shaft, resembling in this respect some leiopelmatid−grade anurans (Notobatrachus). Differs from rhinophrynids (including Chelomophrynus, Eorhinophrynus, and Rhinophrynus) in having comparatively smaller pre− and supraacetabular regions. |
