Platymantis

Platymantis is a group of frogs in the family Ceratobatrachidae. In English, they are named wrinkled ground frogs, ground frogs, and forest frogs.

Most of the frogs in Platymantis live in the Philippines.

Platymantis is a large genus, and scientists disagree about which frogs should be in it.

Species
Right now, scientists say at least 30 living species are in this genus. Brown, et al. (2015) say there may be more, 50-60 species, because scientists have not written papers about all of them yet.

Platymantis also has one dead species in it:
 Platymantis megabotoniviti, Giant Fiji ground frog

Species moved to genus Cornufer
Brown et al. (2015) moved many species in Platymantis into a new genus, Cornufer. They kept all the frogs that living in the Philippines in Platymantis.
