Abstract

The phylogenetic relationships of the subgenus Yunganastes (Anura: Terrarana) are contentious. Previous studies placed Yunganastes within the genera Craugastor, Eleutherodactylus or Pristimantis, currently in three different families: Craugastoridae, Eleutherodactylidae, and Strabomantidae. We study the phylogenetic relationships of Yunganastes using Bayesian analyses of 1300 base pairs of the 16S and 12S mtDNA genes. Our dataset includes 375 species representing all major groups of Terrarana. The clade Yunganastes is nested within the family Strabomantidae, but not within any of the described genera. The phylogenetic position of Yunganastes and a morphological synapomorphy are used as criteria to raise the clade to the genus level.
