Genus Anomaloglossus Grant, Frost, Caldwell, Gagliardo, Haddad, Kok, Means, Noonan, Schargel and Wheeler, 2006

Type species: Colostethus beebei Noble, 1923, by original designation.

Remarks: Genus Anomaloglossus, recognized by the presence of a median lingual process (MLP), was described by Grant et al. (1997). Currently 28 species are known from the Guiana Shield and northern Amazon (Frost 2018). The seven trans-Andean species with MLP now belong to Ectopoglossus Grant, Rada, Anganoy-Criollo, Batista, Dias, Jeckel, Machado and Rueda-Almonacid, 2017.
