Nimbaphrynoides occidentalis (the sole species in the monotypic genus Nimbaphrynoides) Ascaphus (all species) and Eleutherodactylus (two species, E. coqui and E. jasperi) are the only other frog genera that have internal fertilization. [11] Limnonectes larvaepartus also has internal fertilization. [12]
Together with the West Africa Nimbaphrynoides (which was included in Nectophrynoides in the past) and Limnonectes larvaepartus, they are the only frogs/toads in the world that do not lay eggs. [3] [4] The Ethiopian Altiphrynoides (includes Spinophrynoides), which lay eggs, were also part of Nectophrynoides in the past. [3]

Nimbaphrynoides To a monotypic taxon : This is a redirect from the only lower-ranking member of a monotypic taxon to its monotypic taxon. In a biology-related article, when for example a genus has only one species, the binomial name may be a redirect to the genus.
Most of the frogs belonging to this group are listed under the least concern section of the IUCN red list. However, there is a significant percentage of these frogs listed as data deficient, endangered, or critically endangered. Like most other amphibians, the frogs listed in this group can be particularly vulnerable to environmental change.
Brevicipitidae or rain frogs is a small family of frogs found in eastern and southern Africa.As of 2020 contains 37 species in 5 genera. [1] [2] Formerly included as subfamily in Microhylidae (narrow-mouth frogs), phylogenetic research has indicated the brevicipitine frogs should be considered as a family with Hemisotidae (shovelnose frogs) as the most closely related sister taxon.
