Comment
Removed from the synonymy of Phyllomedusa by Cruz, 1991 "1990", Rev. Brasil. Biol., 50: 709-726. Formerly considered to constitute the Phyllomedusa fimbriata group. Faivovich, Haddad, Baêta, Jungfer, Álvares, Brandão, Sheil, Barrientos, Barrio-Amorós, Cruz, and Wheeler, 2010, Cladistics, 26: 235, on the basis of an extensive molecular analysis suggested Phrynomedusa to be the sister taxon of all other phyllomedusines.
