Nymphargus is a relatively newly established (2007) genus of glass frogs in subfamily Centroleninae. They are distributed in the Andean slopes of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.[1] They are characterized by lacking webbing among the outer fingers, lacking humeral spines in adult males, and having a lobed liver covered by a transparent hepatic peritoneum.[2]
