Pogonophryne scotti Regan, 1914 by monotypy.
Introduction
Over 10 new species in this genus have been described in the last 10 years, with possibly another 7 formally undescribed species (Shandikov 2013; Eastman & Eakin 2015). Many of these are recorded from locations close to the Australian Antarctic Territory and it is likely that the number of species recorded from AAT will increase as sampling efforts continue.
