Ceuthomantis is a small genus of craugastorid frogs,[2] also treated as comprising their own monogeneric family Ceuthomantidae.[3] They are found in the southern and eastern parts of the Guiana Highlands in Venezuela, Guyana, and Brazil.[2] The generic name is derived from the Greek noun mantis, which means treefrog, and adjective keuthos, which means hidden, in allusion to the hidden existence of this genus in the tepuis of the Guiana Shield.[1]
