Genus Dischidodactylus Lynch, 1979

Type species: Elosia duidensis Rivero, 1968 , by original designation.

Remarks: Hedges et al. (2008) tentatively placed Dischidodactylus into Strabomantidae : Strabomantinae , due to only one morphological character (possession of expanded terminal disks with circumferential grooves). Because of external similarities with Ceuthomantis, Padial et al. (2014) placed Dischidodactylus in the subfamily Ceuthomantinae . However, the phylogenetic position of genus Dischidodactylus has never been evaluated using molecular data, and it differs greatly from Ceuthomantis and all other Terraranae in external morphology. Further research should clarify relationships. Meanwhile, this genus is left as incertae sedis into a comprehensive Strabomantidae .
