Since then, two teams of scientists used molecular genetics (DNA) to find how this frog is related to other frogs. Both teams found the same thing, but they had different ideas about how the frogs should be put into groups: One team said scientists should start using the genus "Podonectes" again and the other team said they should use "Lysapsus" as a junior synonym of "Pseudis". Later, more teams of scientists said "Pseudis" was not paraphyletic to "Lysapsus", so making Lysapsus a junior synonym would not be good.
