Data from: Reconciling molecular phylogeny, morphological divergence and classification of Madagascan narrow-mouthed frogs (Amphibia: Microhylidae)

A recent study clarified several aspects of microhylid phylogeny by
combining DNA sequences from Sanger sequencing and anchored phylogenomics,
although numerous aspects of tree topology proved highly susceptible to
data partition and chosen model. Although the phylogenetic results of the
study were in conflict with previous studies, the authors made several
changes to the taxonomy of Madagascar’s cophyline microhylids. We
re-analysed part of their data together with our own molecular and
morphological data. Based on a supermatrix of 11 loci, we propose a new
phylogeny of the Cophylinae, and discuss it in the context of a newly
generated osteological dataset. We found several sample
misidentifications, partially explaining their deviant results, and
propose to resurrect the genera Platypelis and Stumpffia from the synonymy
of Cophyla and Rhombophryne, respectively. We provide support for the
previous genus-level taxonomy of this subfamily, and erect a new genus,
Anilany gen. nov., in order to eliminate paraphyly of Stumpffia and to
account for the osteological differences observed among these groups. Deep
nodes in our phylogeny remain poorly supported, and future works will
certainly refine our classification, but we are confident that these will
not produce large-scale rearrangements.
