Boulenophrys is a genus of frogs in the family Megophryidae. They occur in the China , Mainland Southeast Asia and Northeast India. It had been placed variously as a subgenus or synonymy of Megophrys. Dubois, Ohler and Pyron first recognized that Panophrys is preoccupied and employed Boulenophrys as the generic name rather than Tianophrys under the Principle of First Revisor.[1]

The most of the species in this genus were formerly considered species of the genus Megophrys.
