Taxonomy

The genus Noblella was originally erected to accommodate Sminthillus peruvianus, but subsequently synonymized, first with Eleutherodactylus (1971) and then with Phrynopus (1975). Noblella was resurrected by De la Riva and colleagues in 2008. At the same time, the genus Phyllonastes was placed into synonymy with Noblella.[3][4] However, Noblella, as currently defined, might still be polyphyletic.[1]

Description

Species of the genus Noblella are small frogs measuring up to 22 mm (0.87 in) in snout–vent length. Head is no wider than the body. Tympanic membrane is differentiated except in Noblella duellmani. Dorsum is pustulate or shagreen. Venter is smooth.[2]
