Platymantis is a genus of frogs in the family Ceratobatrachidae. They are commonly known as wrinkled ground frogs, ground frogs, and forest frogs. As currently defined, Platymantis is a large genus with up to as many as 60 species found mostly in the Philippines. However, it is known to be paraphyletic. Solving this problem will likely lead to a more narrowly defined Platymantis, possibly by transferring some species to a larger Ceratobatrachus (with Batrachylodes).

Species

There are currently at least 30 extant species in this genus. Brown, et al. (2015) estimates that there may be a total of 50-60 species in Platymantis if all cryptic species were to be described. • Platymantis banahao Brown, Alcala, Diesmos & Alcala, 1997 • Platymantis bayani Siler, Alcala, Diesmos, and Brown, 2009 • Platymantis biak Siler, Diesmos, Linkem, Diesmos, and Brown, 2010 • Platymantis cagayanensis Brown, Alcala & Diesmos, 1999 • Platymantis cornutus (Taylor, 1922) • Platymantis corrugatus (Duméril, 1853) • Platymantis diesmosi Brown & Gonzalez, 2007 • Platymantis dorsalis (Duméril, 1853) • Platymantis guentheri (Boulenger, 1882) • Platymantis hazelae (Taylor, 1920) • Platymantis indeprensus Brown, Alcala & Diesmos, 1999 • Platymantis insulatus Brown & Alcala, 1970 • Platymantis isarog Brown, Brown, Alcala & Frost, 1997 • Platymantis lawtoni Brown & Alcala, 1974 • Platymantis levigatus Brown & Alcala, 1974 • Platymantis luzonensis Brown, Alcala, Diesmos & Alcala, 1997 • Platymantis mimulus Brown, Alcala & Diesmos, 1997 • Platymantis montanus (Taylor, 1922) • Platymantis naomii Alcala, Brown & Diesmos, 1998 • Platymantis negrosensis Brown, Alcala, Diesmos & Alcala, 1997 • Platymantis paengi Siler et al., 2007 • Platymantis panayensis Brown, Brown & Alcala, 1997 • Platymantis polillensis (Taylor, 1922) • Platymantis pseudodorsalis Brown, Alcala & Diesmos, 1999 • Platymantis pygmaeus Alcala, Brown & Diesmos, 1998 • Platymantis quezoni Brown, Layola, Lorenzo, Diesmos & Diesmos, 2015 • Platymantis rabori Brown, Alcala, Diesmos & Alcala, 1997 • Platymantis sierramadrensis Brown, Alcala, Ong & Diesmos, 1999 • Platymantis spelaeus Brown & Alcala, 1982 • Platymantis subterrestris (Taylor, 1922) • Platymantis taylori Brown, Alcala & Diesmos, 1999 In addition, there is an extinct species:

Species moved to genus Cornufer

Brown, et al. (2015) moved the Platymantis species of Oceania into the newly proposed genus Cornufer. Species in the Philippines remained in Platymantis.

Endemic ranges

Many Platymantis species are endemic to highly restricted geographical areas within the Philippines.
