Leptodactylus nesiotus is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It was originally described from Icacos Swamp on the south-western peninsula of Trinidad Island and was for a long time believed to be endemic to the island. However, in 2018 specimens were also reported from Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. It is probably the sister taxon of Leptodactylus validus. Indeed, the French Guianan records were first identified as L. validus, and it is possible that also some other L. validus records refer to Leptodactylus nesiotus. It is likely that this species is also found in Venezuela, perhaps even wider in open areas of northern South America.

It is found in the Lesser Antilles, the Guianas, and in the northernmost Brazil (Roraima) and in Venezuela. The Lesser Antillean part of the range might be due to human introduction. In 2018, the species was recorded from Colombia for the first time.
Physalaemus ephippifer is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in central and eastern Brazilian Amazonia, the Guianas, and southern Venezuela. It might not occur in French Guiana.

Prior to its description by Carvalho and Giaretta in 2013, it was confused with Adenomera martinezi. The specific name saci is Portuguese word for a kind of whistling imp in Brazilian (Tupi) folklore, in allusion to the whistling call of this frog.
