Notobatrachus (lat.) Is an oligotypic genus of extinct amphibians from the Salientia superorder [1] . Representatives of the genus lived in the Middle Jurassic era ( Callovian - Bat century, 168.3-163.5 million years ago) in South America [2] , that is, chronologically closer to the modern tailless than the most ancient frogs from the Prosalirus and Vieraella clans.
