The marsupial frogs are a disputed family (Amphignathodontidae) in the order Anura. Where it is treated as a separate family, it consists of two genera, Gastrotheca, and Flectonotus. These frogs are native to Neotropical America (Central America & South America). Under other classifications, these are treated as part of family Hemiphractidae. There is still an active question as to which classification is correct.[1]
