Heleophrynidae is a family of frogs, commonly known as ghost frogs.[1] They are thought to be the most basal group in the Neobatrachia.[1][2] The family consists of two genera, Heleophryne and Hadromophryne, with seven species. Ghost frogs live in swift-moving mountain streams in South Africa. The common name of "ghost frogs" may have been coined because of their occurrence in Skeleton Gorge.[3]
