Conservation
Of the 36 Xenophrys species that the International Union for Conservation of Nature has evaluated, most are either "Data Deficient" or of "Least Concern". However, one species is considered "Critically Endangered" "Endangered", one is "Vulnerable", and six are "Near Threatened".
Taxonomy
The genus was previously found to be strongly polyphyletic, and awaiting a better solution, they were synonymized in the genus Megophrys. Following subsequent studies and reclassification, the genus has been revalidated.
