The Strabomantidae, sometimes called cloud forest landfrogs, are a family of frogs native to South America. These frogs lack a free-living larval stage and hatch directly into miniature "froglets".[1][2] This family includes Pristimantis, the most speciose genus of any vertebrate.[3] Based on molecular dating, the Holoadeninae in particular appears to have originated in the Eocene.[4] The Oligocene-Miocene transition was also found to be important to their biogeographical history.[4] However, the lack of Holoadeninae fossils and limited nucleotide data ambiguates the results, by the authors' admission.[4]
