family: Microhylidae
subfamily: Otophryninae

Etymology: The species epithet, "mesomorphus," comes from the Greek words "mesos," meaning “middle” or “intermediate,” and "“morphē," meaning “sort, appearance, form.” This refers to the intermediate morphology of Synapturanus mesomorphus between the easternmost species of the Eastern Clade (S. mirandaribeiroi, S. zombie, S. ajuricaba, and other unnamed species) and the species of the Western Clade (including S. rabus and unnamed species) (Fouquet et al. 2021a).
