'''''Platymantis''''' is a genus of [frog](/source/frog)s that belongs to the family [Ceratobatrachidae](/source/Ceratobatrachidae). They are commonly known as '''wrinkled ground frogs''', '''ground frogs''',[{{cite web |url=http://research.amnh.org/vz/herpetology/amphibia/Amphibia/Anura/Ceratobatrachidae/Platymantis |title=''Platymantis'' Günther, 1858 |author=Frost, Darrel R. |year=2014 |work=Amphibian Species of the World: an Online Reference. Version 6.0 |publisher=American Museum of Natural History |access-date=22 February 2014}}][{{ITIS|id=173463 |taxon=''Platymantis'' Günther, 1858}}] and '''forest frogs'''.
As currently defined, ''Platymantis'' is a large genus with up to as many as 60 species found mostly in the [Philippines](/source/Philippines). However, it is known to be [paraphyletic](/source/paraphyletic). Solving this problem will likely lead to a more narrowly defined ''Platymantis'', possibly by transferring some species to a larger ''[Ceratobatrachus](/source/Ceratobatrachus)'' (with ''[Batrachylodes](/source/Batrachylodes)'').[
==Species==
There are currently at least 30 extant species in this genus.][ Brown, et al. (2015)][{{cite journal |last1=Brown |first1=Rafe M. |last2=Siler |first2=Cameron D. |last3=Richards |first3=Stephen J. |last4=Diesmos |first4=Arvin C. |last5=Cannatella |first5=David C. |title=Multilocus phylogeny and a new classification for Southeast Asian and Melanesian forest frogs (family Ceratobatrachidae) |journal=Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society |volume=174 |issue=1 |year=2015 |pages=130–168 |doi=10.1111/zoj.12232|doi-access=free }}] estimates that there may be a total of 50–60 species in ''Platymantis'' if all [cryptic species](/source/cryptic_species) were to be described.
