thumb|Eggs of Phrynopus curator Phrynopus is a genus of frogs of the family Strabomantidae. Their common name is Andes frogs. They are endemic to Peru and inhabit the upper humid montane forest and supra-treeline grassland in the Cordillera Oriental, with one record from the Peruvian Cordillera Occidental.
==Taxonomy== The contents and phylogenetic position of Phrynopus have long been uncertain, and many species once included in this genus have now been moved to other genera (Bryophryne, Lynchius, Isodactylus (now Hypodactylus), Noblella, Niceforonia, and Psychrophrynella). Hedges and colleagues placed it in 2008 in the family Strabomantidae, subfamily Strabomantinae.
