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 .
