Platyplectrum is a genus of ground-dwelling frog in the family Limnodynastidae. Species in this genus are found in Australia, New Guinea, and on the Aru Islands.[1] They are medium-sized frogs and the dorsal skin has a sandpaper-like texture.
Although this genus was described in 1863 for the species Platyplectrum ornatum, in 2009 it was synonymized with the genus Opisthodon. This classification was found to be paraphyletic with respect to the former genus Lechriodus. For this reason, Platyplectrum was revived in 2021 for the members of Opisthodon and Lechriodus.[1][2]
They inhabit a range of environments from arid areas to rainforests and wet sclerophyll forests, and are active after heavy rains in summer and rarely seen during drier conditions. Breeding takes place in temporary pools and small streams and the tadpoles as well as the frogs are noted for their cannibalistic behaviour, due to which some members are commonly known as cannibal frogs. They are terrestrial and burrowing, spend much time under ground, particularly during drier periods. Breeding occurs after rain, and males call from temporary or permanent water.
The species in this genus are quite similar physically to many frogs in Limnodynastes, they also share many of the same habits of that genus including: burrowing, a "tok" like call and foamy egg nest (which in Platyplectrum breaks down after a few hours).

Platyplectrum est un genre d'amphibiens de la famille des Limnodynastidae[1].
Les 2 espèces de ce genre sont endémiques de l'Australie[1].
Selon Amphibian Species of the World (19 novembre 2016)[2] :
Les deux espèces sont terrestres et souterraines, passer de longs moments sous terre, notamment pendant les périodes les plus sèches. Elles habitent dans des environnements allant des zones arides aux forêts humides. L'accouplement a lieu après la pluie et les mâles appellent les femelles depuis des points d'eau temporaires ou permanents.
Les espèces de ce genre sont assez semblables physiquement à beaucoup de grenouilles du genre Limnodynastes, elles ont aussi en commun les habitudes de ce genre, comme de vivre dans des terriers, un "tok" comme appel et un nid mousseux d'œufs (qui, chez opisthodon se délite après quelques heures).

Platyplectrum (vroeger: Opisthodon) is een geslacht van kikkers uit de familie Limnodynastidae.[1] De groep werd voor het eerst wetenschappelijk beschreven door Franz Steindachner in 1867. Later werd abusievelijk de wetenschappelijke naam Platyplectron gebruikt.
Er zijn twee soorten die endemisch zijn in Australië.[2] De soorten komen voor in het noordelijke, het westelijke en het centrale deel van het land. Beide soorten leven in zanderige streken in de buurt van beekjes. Ze begraven zich overdag om 's nachts te foerageren op kleine ongewervelden.
