Chiasmocleis is a genus of microhylid frogs. They are found in tropical South America north and east of the Andes. Their common name is humming frogs or silent frogs, the latter referring to the formerly recognized Syncope.
The gnome fruit-eating bat is a bat species found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela. This species was originally determined to be different from the other known species of fruit bats, but later, in 1994 was mistakenly grouped under Artibeus cinereus as a synonym. However, this has since been corrected by more closely studying their physical differences and by biomolecular analysis.
Chiasmocleis alagoana is a species of frogs in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to remnants of the Atlantic rainforest in the states of Alagoas, Paraíba, and Pernambuco in north-eastern Brazil. The specific name alagoana refers to Alagoas, the state where this species was first found.
Chiasmocleis albopunctata is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, dry savanna, moist savanna, subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland, intermittent freshwater lakes, intermittent freshwater marshes, arable land, pastureland, rural gardens, heavily degraded former forest, ponds, seasonally flooded agricultural land, and canals and ditches.
Chiasmocleis anatipes is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. As currently known, it is endemic to northeastern Ecuador, but it is likely to occur also in adjacent parts of Peru and perhaps Colombia too. The specific name anatipes refers to the "duck-like" feet of this frog, characterized by extensive webbing between the toes. Common name Santa Cecilia humming frog has been proposed for this species.
Chiasmocleis atlantica is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Chiasmocleis bassleri is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is found in the Amazon biome of Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. The specific name bassleri honors Harvey Bassler, an American geologist and paleontologist. Common name Bassler's humming frog has been proposed for this species.
Chiasmocleis capixaba is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Chiasmocleis carvalhoi is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is found in Colombia, Peru, and Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests or moist lowland forests and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss from farming and logging.
Chiasmocleis centralis is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Brazil. Its natural habitats are moist savanna, subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland, intermittent freshwater marshes, and pastureland. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Chiasmocleis hudsoni, also known as Hudson's humming frog, is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is found in French Guiana, Suriname, Guyana, Guianan Venezuela, Colombia (Amazonas), and Amazonian Brazil. Chiasmocleis jimi has been included in this species but the most recent genetic analyses support its recognition as a distinct species; both species might include further distinct lineages that warrant recognition as species.
Chiasmocleis leucosticta is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Chiasmocleis mehelyi is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Brazil. Its natural habitats are moist savanna, subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland, intermittent freshwater marshes, and pastureland. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Chiasmocleis schubarti is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Chiasmocleis shudikarensis is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is found in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and possibly Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Chiasmocleis ventrimaculata, also known as the dotted humming frog, is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, swamps, and intermittent freshwater marshes.
Chiasmocleis antenori, also known as the Ecuador silent frog, is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is found in eastern Ecuador, eastern Peru, and western Brazil (Acre). It might be a species complex.
Syncope tridactyla is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is found in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil, Peru, and Ecuador. Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forests. It is not present in modified habitats and is thereby locally threatened by habitat loss, but this is not considered to be a significant threat to the species as whole.
The mountain pygmy owl is a small species of owl from the family Strigidae. They reside throughout southern Arizona, New Mexico and Mexico.
Chiasmocleis lacrimae, the central humming frog, is a frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Brazil, where it lives in lowland forest habitats.
