The marsupial frogs are a disputed family (Amphignathodontidae) in the order Anura. ^[1] When treated as a separate family, it consists of two genera, Gastrotheca and Flectonotus . ^[2] The frogs are native to Neotropical America (Central and South America). Under the dominant view, they are treated as part of the family of Hemiphractidae. ^{[1] [3] [4]}
