Anomaloglossus degranvillei (common name: Degranville's rocket frog) is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is known from French Guiana but is likely to occur also in Suriname and Brazil, and possibly in Guyana. [3] It is named in honour of Jean-Jacques de Granville, a botanist from French Guiana. [2]

Description

Anomaloglossus degranvillei are small frogs: their snout–vent length is about 14–20.5 mm (0.55–0.81 in). Their ventral colouration is black brown with white spots. [2] Male frogs carry tadpoles on their back where they complete their development; tadpoles do not feed. [1] [4]

Habitat and conservation

Anomaloglossus degranvillei inhabit edges of rocky streams. [1] They are not found where streams cross swampy or sandy terrain. They are diurnal and appear to be territorial. [2] Scientists observed this frog about 400 meters above sea level. [3] [1]

Scientists have seen this frog inside one protected area, Parc Amazonien de Guyane. [5] [1]
