Taxonomic Notes: Raffaelli and Dubois (2012, Alytes 28) argue that Risch failed to provide a diagnosis of Paradactylodon and propose new generic names. AmphibiaWeb disagrees. For P. mustersi they propose the name Afghanodon.These authors ignored work of Zheng et al. 2011 Mol Biol Evol 28:2521-2535.
