Description

Genus Lithodytes Fitzinger, 1843

Type species: Hylodes lineatus Duméril and Bibron, 1841 (= Rana lineata Schneider, 1799), by original designation.

Remarks: Frost et al. (2006) synonymized Lithodytes within Leptodactylus, but not widely followed. Pyron and Wiens (2011) and de Sá et al. (2014) recognize Adenomera and Lithodytes as valid genera.
