Petropedetes
Petropedetes is a genus of frogs in the family Petropedetidae. In 2002, the genus absorbed all three species of the genus Arthroleptides, but they were moved back in 2014. The informally assigned common name for frogs in this genus (and for frogs in certain other genera) is torrent frogs.
