Subfamily Otophryninae Wassersug and Pyburn, 1987

Remarks: Status of subfamily discussed in Wild (1995). De Sá et al. (2012) and Peloso et al. (2016) reviewed the taxonomy of Microhylidae and both recognize a monophyletic Otophryninae containing Otophryne and Synapturanus . De Sá et al. (2012) found Otophryninae well embedded into the family whereas Peloso et al. (2016) found support for a sister taxon relationship of Otophryninae, Gastrophryninae, and Adelastinae, thus providing evidence for the monophyly of New World microhylids. Current authors believe Adelastes (currently in Adelastinae) should be considered as in Otophryninae .
