Spondylophryne villanyensis is a name given to a prehistoric amphibian placed in the family Discoglossidae (=Alytidae). It was described based on material from Villány, Hungary. Later studies have criticized the extreme brevity of the description and lack of illustration;[2][3][4] the name could be considered a nomen nudum.[3]
Description
The species description appears to comprise one sentence:[3]
"Spondylophryne villanyensis n. g. , n. sp.– Altertümlicher Typus von Baranophrys-Grösse, mit im Neuralbogen isoliertem erstem Wirbel im Urostyl".
