WThe Microhylidae, commonly known as narrow-mouthed frogs, are a geographically widespread family of frogs. The 683 species are in 63 genera and 11 subfamilies, which is the largest number of genera of any frog family.
WAphantophryne is a genus of microhylid frogs found in New Guinea and in Mindanao, the Philippines. Originally described by Fry in 1917, Richard G. Zweifel considered in 1956 Aphantophryne synonymous to Cophixalus. The genus was resurrected in 1989 to house two new species in addition to the type species, A. pansa. A molecular study on the subfamily Asterophryinae in 2017 revealed that two species originally included in the genus Oreophryne were more closely related to Aphantophryne than to other Oreophryne, and were consequently moved to this genus. The study also revealed a number of undescribed species.

WTomato frogs are any of the three species of genus Dyscophus : D. antongilii, D. insularis, or D. guineti. Dyscophus is the only genus in subfamily Dyscophinae. They are endemic to Madagascar. The three Dyscophus species differ in chromatin pattern. Both sexes of D. guineti show a heteromorphic chromosome pair 11, with one element larger (11a) than the other 11b due to the presence of the large terminal tract on the short arm with an euchromatic band enclosed between two heterochromatic bands. This condition in dyscophus probably characterizes the beginning of a cladogenetic process.
