Plethodontohyla is a genus of microhylid frogs endemic to Madagascar.

Species

There are at present nine species:

Plethodontohyla bipunctata (Guibé, 1974)

Plethodontohyla brevipes Boulenger, 1882

Plethodontohyla fonetana Glaw, Köhler, Bora, Rabibisoa, Ramilijaona, and Vences, 2007

Plethodontohyla guentheri Glaw and Vences, 2007

Plethodontohyla inguinalis Boulenger, 1882

Plethodontohyla mihanika Vences, Raxworthy, Nussbaum, and Glaw, 2003

Plethodontohyla notosticta (Günther, 1877)

Plethodontohyla ocellata Noble and Parker, 1926

Plethodontohyla tuberata (Peters, 1883)

Taxonomy

The following species were formerly classed as Plethodontoyhla species but have since been moved to the genus Rhombophryne:

Rhombophryne alluaudi (Mocquard, 1901)

Rhombophryne coronata (Vences & Glaw, 2003)

Rhombophryne guentherpetersi (Guibé, 1974)

Rhombophryne laevipes (Mocquard, 1895)

Rhombophryne minuta (Guibé, 1975)

Rhombophryne serratopalpebrosa (Guibé, 1975)

In addition, the species Rhombophryne matavy was erroneously transferred to Plethodontohyla in 2016 based on a misidentified DNA sequence, and was later transferred back to Rhombophryne.
