Microkayla adenopleura is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to Bolivia and only known from near its type locality in the Carrasco National Park, Cochabamba Department, at elevations of 3,250–3,400 m (10,660–11,150 ft) asl. It is a common species living in low, humid montane forest typical to the transition between Yungas forest and páramo. Outside the national park, if present, it would be threatened by habitat loss.

It is known from its type locality on the Cordillera de Carpish, Huánuco, and from near Juanjuí in the San Martín Region. It lacks eardrums, and at a cursory glance it resembles leptodactylid frogs of the genus Phrynopus, in which it was initially placed.
Phrynopus dagmarae is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to the Andes of Peru and only known from the Pachitea and Ambo Provinces in the Huánuco Region, from near the type locality. The specific name dagmarae honors Dagmar Schramm from Germany.
