Platymantis is a genus of frogs in the Ceratobatrachidae family. They are commonly known as wrinkled ground frogs, ground frogs,[1][2] and forest frogs.

As currently defined, Platymantis is a large genus with 70 species found in the Philippines, Palau, Fiji, New Guinea, and in the Admiralty, Bismarck, and Solomon Islands. However, it is known to be paraphyletic. Solving this problem will likely lead to a more narrowly defined Platymantis, possibly by transferring some species to a larger Ceratobatrachus (with Batrachylodes).[1]
