Qosqophryne is a genus of strabomantid frogs. These frogs are endemic to south-eastern Peru in the Cusco Region at 3270 to 3800 meters above sea level. A phylogenetic analysis found Qosqophryne as sister to the genus Microkayla and that this clade was more closely related to Noblella and Psychrophrynella than to other species in Bryophryne.[1]
Taxonomy[edit]
The genus Qosqophryne was erected in 2020 to accommodate three species that were in Bryophryne at that time.

The following species are recognised in the genus Qosqophryne:[2]
