The Alsodidae are a small family of frogs from South America between Patagonia and southern Brazil. It contains 30 species in three genera.[1][2] This family, along with several other families, used to be included in the family Leptodactylidae.[3] It was then a subfamily in the family Cycloramphidae, before being recognized as a family first in 2011.[4]
