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 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.
