Whether the genus is truly distinct from Phyzelaphryne remains uncertain. Common name shield frogs has been coined for this genus.[4] EtymologyThe generic name is derived from the Greek words adelos, meaning "unseen, unknown, obscure", and phryne for "toad". It refers to the fact that these small frogs were seldom collected until relatively lately.[1] DescriptionAdelophryne are small leaf-litter frogs, with adults measuring no more than {{convert|17|mm|abbr=on}} in snout–vent length.[8] The pupil is oval and horizontally oriented. The tympanum is distinct. The digits are flattened and have asymmetrically pointed, laterally grooved, elongate discs. No webbing is present. The fourth finger is reduced in size. Males have a large, external subgular vocal sac.[1]Reproduction is through direct development, that is, eggs hatch directly into froglets, without free-living larval stage. Before this was confirmed for Adelophryne maranguapensis, the relatively large size of the eggs in this genus led many researcher to conclude that direct development was likely to be present. SpeciesAs of 2017, there were nine species:[4][2] but a new species was discovered and described in 2018 and there is a strong reason to believe that 4 additional new species are most likely to be added to those existing :[3]
