Taxonomy

The genus has been considered synonym of Flectonotus, but was recognized again in 2011.[1][3] The former Flectonotus consisted of two geographically disjunctive components, one from northern South America (Flectonotus as understood today) and the other from southeastern Brazil (Fritziana).[3] The distinctiveness of these taxa is now well established and based on both molecular, behavioural, and morphological characters.[1][3]
