Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
Z. Szentesi and M. Venczel 2012A small anuran, with estimated snoutevent length of 25-30 mm. It differs from gobiatine, bombinatorine, alytine frogs and Callobatrachus, as well as from the incertae sedis anurans Hatzegobatrachus and Yizhoubatrachus by the presence of a well developed iliac crest. It differs from discoglossine frogs, with the exception of some members of Discoglossus, by its dorsal protuberance being lower than that of the iliac crest and provided with a thickened and flattened dorsolateral surface circumscribed by a shallow groove. It differs also from Discoglossus, Latonia, Paradiscoglossus and Paralatonia by its more robustly built dorsal acetabular expansion and by its smaller ventral acetabular expansion.
