Cochranella is a genus of glass frogs, characterized by lacking humeral spines in males, and having a lobed liver. About one-third of the species formerly placed in Cochranella were placed into the genus Nymphargus.
Delimitation against Centrolene is not entirely resolved to satisfaction, and several species formerly in Hyalinobatrachium are now placed here.
Though this list is reasonably complete, new species are described on a continuous basis and may be missing.
