Comment
Association of Atopophrynus, Dischidodactylus, Euparkerella, and Geobatrachus was made provisionally with this taxon by Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008, Zootaxa, 1737: 1-182, substantially on the basis of geography (p. 97). Padial, Castroviejo-Fisher, and De la Riva, 2009, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 52: 911-915, provided molecular evidence for the monophyly of the group. Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 543-583, in their study of Genbank sequences, redelimited the group, suggested that it might be the sister taxon of Pristimantinae, and excluded taxa not included on the basis of character evidence. Canedo and Haddad, 2012, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 65: 610-620, suggested that Strabomantinae may be the sister taxon of Holoadeninae.
