Nectophrynoides is a genus of true toads, family Bufonidae. They are endemic to Eastern Arc forests and wetlands in Tanzania,[Channing and Howell. (2006). Amphibians of East Africa. Pp. 104–117. ] and all except N. tornieri are threatened. Species of the genus are Ovoviviparity: fertilization is internal, and the females give birth to fully developed, small toadlets.[ Together with the West Africa Nimbaphrynoides (which was included in Nectophrynoides in the past) and Limnonectes larvaepartus, they are the only frogs/toads in the world that do not lay eggs.][Wells (2007). The Ecology and Behavior of Amphibians. Pp. 486–487. ][
