Lynchius is a genus of frogs in the family Strabomantidae. The name honours herpetologist John D. Lynch. The distribution of Lynchius is restricted to the Cordillera Oriental in southern Ecuador and Cordillera de Huancabamba in northern Peru.
==Taxonomy== The genus is relatively new; it was split off from Phrynopus in 2008 in order to resolve the paraphyly of that genus. The sister taxon of Lynchius is Oreobates.
