Colostethus dysprosium | |
Colostethus dysprosium is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to Antioquia, Colombia. Its natural habitats are rivers, freshwater marshes and intermittent freshwater marshes.
Colostethus is a genus of poison dart frogs native to Central and South America, from Panama south to Colombia, Ecuador, and northern Peru. Their common name is rocket frogs, but this name may refer to frogs in other genera and families, following the taxonomic revision of the genus in 2006.
Colostethus agilis is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to Colombia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and rivers.
Allobates crombiei is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to the Pará state in Brazil. Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forests, rivers, freshwater marshes, and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss and the Belo Monte Dam. It is named in honor of Ronald Ian Crombie.
Colostethus imbricolus is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to Colombia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss. The biomes of the frog are Terrestrial and Freshwater.
Colostethus inguinalis is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to northwestern and northcentral Colombia. Its vernacular name is common rocket frog, although this name can also refer to Colostethus panamansis that until 2004 was considered a junior synonym of Colostethus inguinalis. Much of the older literature on Colostethus inguinalis is actually about Colostethus panamansis.
Colostethus mertensi is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae, currently threatened by habitat loss. Endemic to Colombia, its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, rivers, and intermittent freshwater marshes.
Colostethus panamansis, also known as the Panama rocket frog or (ambiguously) common rocket frog, is a species of poison dart frog. It is found in northwestern Colombia and Panama. It is one of the best studied poison dart frogs; however, until 2004 Colostethus panamansis was considered a synonym of Colostethus inguinalis, and consequently the older literature uses that name.
Colostethus thorntoni is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to Colombia where it is known from the Cordillera Central in the Antioquia Department.
Agalychnis psilopygion is a species of frog in the family Phyllomedusidae. It is found in southern Colombia and north-western Ecuador. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, rivers, freshwater marshes, and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The Ezo salamander or Hokkaido salamander is a species of salamander in the family Hynobiidae, endemic to Japan. Its natural habitats are temperate forests, temperate shrubland, swamps, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marshes, freshwater springs, irrigated land, and canals and ditches.
Hyperolius endjami is a species of frog in the family Hyperoliidae. It is endemic to Cameroon. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical swamps, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, shrub-dominated wetlands, freshwater marshes, and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Hyperolius robustus is a species of frog in the family Hyperoliidae. It is endemic to Democratic Republic of the Congo. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, swamps, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marshes, rural gardens, and heavily degraded former forest.
Limnonectes acanthi is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to the Philippines. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, rivers, intermittent rivers, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marshes, irrigated land, and seasonally flooded agricultural land. It is a common species, but it is threatened by habitat loss. It is also caught for food.
Amnirana occidentalis is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It is found in Ivory Coast, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, and possibly Nigeria. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, freshwater marshes, and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Occidozyga floresiana is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to Flores, Indonesia.
The Victoria ridged frog is a species of frog in the family Ptychadenidae. It is found in Benin, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, possibly Angola, and possibly Togo. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, intermittent freshwater marshes, and heavily degraded former forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Ptychadena retropunctata is a species of frog in the family Ptychadenidae. It is found in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and possibly Ivory Coast. Its natural habitats are moist savanna, subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland, subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Ptychadena superciliaris is a species of frog in the family Ptychadenidae. It is found in Ivory Coast, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The Congo clawless otter, also known as the Cameroon clawless otter, is a species of clawless otter in the family Mustelidae. It was formerly recognised as a subspecies of the African clawless otter.
The cream-backed poison frog is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae endemic to Colombia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical, high-altitude grassland, shrub-dominated wetlands, swamps, intermittent freshwater marshes, rural gardens, urban areas, and heavily degraded former forests. The cream-backed poison frog is one of the less-toxic of the family. It has undergone several name changes since its discovery. Originally called Dendrobates subpunctatus, its name was changed to Colostethus subpuctatus once the family Dendrobatidae underwent a division of species and genera other than Dendrobates were coined. Recently, minor skeletal differences have separated the cream-backed poison frog from the rocket frogs, and placed it in another genus entirely, Hyloxalus.
