Spondylophrys villanyensis – Jánossy, 2011 [1] |
Spondylophryne villanyensis is a name given to a prehistoric amphibian placed in the family Discoglossidae (= Alytidae). It was described based on material from Villány, Hungary. Later studies have criticized the extreme brevity of the description and lack of illustration; [2] [3] [4] the name could be considered a nomen nudum. [3]
The species description appears to comprise one sentence: [3]
"Spondylophryne villanyensis n. g. , n. sp.– Altertümlicher Typus von Baranophrys-Grösse, mit im Neuralbogen isoliertem erstem Wirbel im Urostyl".
