See text Pseudophryne is a genus of small myobatrachid frogs.

All of these frogs are small terrestrial frogs, and as such, most species are commonly called toadlets (pseudo- meaning deceptive, phryne meaning toad).

Species within the genus Pseudophryne lay their eggs on moist ground.

The tadpoles develop within the eggs, and once they reach hatching size, will become dormant.

Many of the species within this genus have the ability to form hybrids.
