Copiula

Copiula is a genus of microhylid frogs endemic to New Guinea. The common name Mehely frogs has been coined for them. They are leaf-litter inhabitants.

Taxonomy
Copiula is probably not monophyletic. Some former Austrochaperina species have already been transferred to this genus, and further ones might follow when more data became available.

Species
There are at present 14 species in this genus: • Copiula alpestris (Zweifel, 2000)

• Copiula annanoreenae Günther, Richards, and Dahl, 2014

• Copiula derongo (Zweifel, 2000)

• Copiula exspectata Günther, 2002

• Copiula fistulans Menzies and Tyler, 1977 — Lae Mehely Frog

• Copiula guttata (Zweifel, 2000)

• Copiula lennarti Günther, Richards, and Dahl, 2014

• Copiula major Günther, 2002

• Copiula minor Menzies and Tyler, 1977 — Milne Bay Mehely Frog

• Copiula obsti Günther, 2002

• Copiula oxyrhina (Boulenger, 1898) — Misima Island Mehely Frog

• Copiula pipiens Burton and Stocks, 1986 — Wirui Mehely Frog

• Copiula rivularis (Zweifel, 2000)

• Copiula tyleri Burton, 1990 — Sepik Mehely Frog

The AmphibiaWeb reports fewer species, with species that Peloso and colleagues moved in 2016 from Austrochaperina and Oxydactyla missing.
