Bufonoidea
Bufonoidea was a proposed superfamily of frogs. It was one of three superfamilies that made up the advanced Neobatrachian frogs in the classification of Dowling and Duellman (1978), the other superfamilies being Microhyloidea and Ranoidea.[1]

Families
The families assigned to Bufonoidea were:[1]
- Myobatrachidae
- Leptodactylidae
- Bufonidae
- Brachycephalidae
- Rhinodermatidae
- Dendrobatidae
- Pseudidae
- Hylidae
- Centrolenidae
Molecular phylogenetic analyses have led to major revisions of frog taxonomy, with the taxa belonging to these families being extensively revised and a number of new families erected.[2] With the exception of the Australian ground frogs (Myobatrachidae), these families belong to the Hyloidea.[3]
