    I've certainly heard of dart frogs and other anurans with protracted development but they aren't truly neotenic. Most simply die after spending an extremely long time as tadpoles. To be truly neotenic they would have to achieve sexual maturity while maintaining juvenile characteristics and I don't think that would be possible in frogs.

    Cheers!
