Nectophrynoides

Tornierobates Miranda-Ribeiro, 1926 Nectophrynoides is a genus of true toads, family Bufonidae.

They are endemic to Eastern Arc forests and wetlands in Tanzania,[1][2] and all except N. tornieri are threatened.

Species of the genus are ovoviviparous: fertilization is internal, and the females give birth to fully developed, small toadlets.

[2] Together with the West Africa Nimbaphrynoides (which was included in Nectophrynoides in the past) and Limnonectes larvaepartus, they are the only frogs/toads in the world that do not lay eggs.

[3][4] The Ethiopian Altiphrynoides (includes Spinophrynoides), which lay eggs, were also part of Nectophrynoides in the past.
