Niceforonia is a genus of frogs in the family Strabomantidae found in northern South America (from central Peru to Ecuador and Colombia).

[3] the genus Niceforonia was resurrected from the synonymy of Phrynopus by Hedges and colleagues in 2008.

[2][3] No genetic data exist, and Hedges et al. placed it provisionally in the subfamily Strabomantinae along with the genera Phrynopus, Oreobates, and Lynchius with which it shares a synapomorphy.

[3] Based on genetic data from these three genera, Padial and colleagues moved them all into the subfamily Holoadeninae in 2014.

[3] The terminal discs on digits are not expanded but usually bear weak circumferential grooves.
