Phyllodytes

Phyllodytes is a genus of frogs. They are called heart-tongued frogs in English. These frogs live in eastern Brazil.

Taxonomy
In 2009, scientists DNA from all the frogs in this group.  They decided to split Phyllodytes into Phyllodytes and another group, Phytotriades.  This article shows the frog species that are still in Phyllodytes. Some scientists think that some of these frogs should be in other groups instead.

Description
The frogs have large fangs called odontoids. Male Phyllodytes do vocalize, in contrast to Phytotriades.

Species
This genus has 14 species in it:
