Nectophrynoides

Nectophrynoides is a genus of true toads. They live in Eastern Arc forests and wetlands in Tanzania.Channing and Howell. (2006). Amphibians of East Africa. Pp. 104-117.  All but N. tornieri are threatened. Species of the genus are ovoviviparous: fertilization is internal, and the females give birth to fully developed, small toadlets. Together with the West Africa Nimbaphrynoides, they are the only frogs/toads in the world that do not lay eggs.Wells (2007). The Ecology and Behavior of Amphibians. Pp. 486-487.
