Leptophryne is a small genus of true toads, family Bufonidae, with only three species.[1][2] The genus is found in Southeast Asia, in the Malay Peninsula (including Peninsular Thailand) and the Greater Sunda Islands. Its relationships within Bufonidae are uncertain; its closest relative might be Epidalea.[1]
