Rhinophrynidae (807 words)
The distribution of living members of the family Rhinophrynidae is indicated in red.
Definition of the name Rhinophrynidae and thus a listing of synapomorphies for the taxon is problematic because name Rhinophrynidae has been applied consistently to several fossil taxa (Henrici, 1991) that are related to the single living taxon dorsalis.
Therefore, Rhinophrynidae is defined to be a stem-based name for those pipoids that are more closely related to the taxon dorsalis than to †Palaeobatrachidae + Pipidae.
