''Meristogenys'' is a genus of true frogs from Borneo.〔 〕 Its tadpoles are easily recognizable by their divided upper lip with ribs on the outside.〔Stuart (2008)〕 Its closest living relative is apparently the Hole-in-the-head frog (''Huia cavitympanum''), type species of the highly polyphyletic "wastebin genus" ''Huia''. ''Meristogenys'', having been proposed far more recently than ''Huia'', might be included in the latter on grounds of phylogeny, as most if not all species placed in the ''Huia'' seem to belong elsewhere. But a group of species traditionally placed in ''Huia'' as well as the genus ''Clinotarsus'' are very close relatives, and therefore a taxonomic revision of this group is probably better deferred until the relationships of all taxa involved have been properly assessed.〔Cai ''et al.'' (2007), Stuart (2008)〕 ==Species== There are 12 species:〔 * ''Meristogenys amoropalamus'' (Matsui, 1986) * ''Meristogenys dyscritus'' Shimada, Matsui, Yambun, and Sudin, 2011 * ''Meristogenys jerboa'' (Günther, 1872) * ''Meristogenys kinabaluensis'' (Inger, 1966) * ''Meristogenys macrophthalmus'' (Matsui, 1986) * ''Meristogenys maryatiae'' Matsui, Shimada, and Sudin, 2010 * ''Meristogenys orphnocnemis'' (Matsui, 1986) * ''Meristogenys phaeomerus'' (Inger and Gritis, 1983) * ''Meristogenys poecilus'' (Inger and Gritis, 1983) * ''Meristogenys stenocephalus'' Shimada, Matsui, Yambun, and Sudin, 2011 * ''Meristogenys stigmachilus'' Shimada, Matsui, Yambun, and Sudin, 2011 * ''Meristogenys whiteheadi'' (Boulenger, 1887) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Meristogenys」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
