Crossodactylus is a genus of frogs in the family Hylodidae. [1] [2] The genus occurs in Brazil, southern Paraguay, and northern Argentina. These frogs are sometimes known as Limnocharis, Tarsopterus, Calamobates, and by the common name spinythumb frogs. [1] [3] They typically inhabit streams in mountainous areas in the Atlantic Forest or in montane savanna. [4]
Osteocephalus is a genus of frogs, the slender-legged tree frogs, in the family Hylidae found in the Guianas, the Amazon Basin, Venezuela, Colombia, southeastern Brazil, and north-eastern Argentina. Males are warty, while females are smooth.
Ischnocnema is a genus of frogs from eastern Brazil and north-eastern Argentina. They comprise the former Eleutherodactylus from this region, but they are closer to Brachycephalus than the "true" Eleutherodactylus. Consequently, they are now placed in their own genus Ischnocnema in the family Brachycephalidae.
Physalaemus is a large genus of leptodactylid frogs. These frogs, sometimes known as dwarf frogs or foam frogs, are found in South America. It is very similar to Leptodactylus, a close relative, and indeed the recently described Leptodactylus lauramiriamae is in some aspects intermediate between them.
Leptodactylus is a genus of leptodactylid frogs. It includes the species commonly called ditch frogs or white-lipped frogs. It is very similar to Physalaemus, a close relative, and indeed the 2005 described Leptodactylus lauramiriamae is in some aspects intermediate between them. The name means ‘slender finger’, from leptos and the Greek daktylos.
Oreobates is a genus of frogs in the family Strabomantidae. Most species were formerly in the genus Ischnocnema, but were moved to this revalidated genus following a 2006 revision. Its sister taxon is Lynchius.
Boana is a genus of frogs in the family Hylidae. They are commonly known as gladiator frogs, gladiator treefrogs or Wagler Neotropical treefrogs. These frogs are distributed in the tropical Central and South America from Nicaragua to Argentina, as well as in the Caribbean.
Crossodactylus dantei or the Murici spinythumb frog, is a species of frog in the family Hylodidae. It is endemic to Brazil. Scientists know it exclusively from the type locality: Murici, in Alagoas. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Crossodactylus dispar is a species of frog in the family Hylodidae. It is endemic to Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, and rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Crossodactylus gaudichaudii is a species of frog in the family Hylodidae. The species is endemic to Brazil.
Crossodactylus grandis, or the Bahia spinythumb frog, is a species of frog in the family Hylodidae. It is endemic to Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland and rivers. It is known solely from the Parque Nacional do Itatiaia in Minas Gerais in Brazil, where it lives in cloud forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Crossodactylus lutzorum is a species of frog in the family Hylodidae. It is endemic to Brazil. Scientists know it exclusively from the type locality: Fazenda Água Branca in Bahia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Crossodactylus trachystomus is a species of frog in the family Hylodidae. It is endemic to the Espinhaço Mountains in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Odontophrynus is a genus of frogs in the family Odontophrynidae. They are found in southern and eastern South America. They are sometimes known as the escuerzos.
Hylodidae, commonly known as giant Neotropical torrent frogs, is a family of frogs native to Brazil and northern Argentina. Phylogenetic evidence suggests the Hylodidae being the sister group to the Alsodidae.
Crossodactylus boulengeri is a species of frog in the family Hylodidae. It lives in the Serra do Mar mountain range in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
Crossodactylus franciscanus is a species of frog in the family Hylodidae. It is endemic to Brazil and has been observed at two sites, both in the state of Minas Gerais.
Crossodactylus cyclospinus is a species of frog in the family Hylodidae. It is endemic to Brazil and has been observed in two localities in Minas Gerais, both on the Jequitinhonha River.
Crossodactylus timbuhy is a species of frog in the family Hylodidae. It is endemic to Brazil. It has been observed near Santa Teresa in Espírito Santo.
Crossodactylus werneri is a species of frog in the family Hylodidae. It is endemic to Brazil. It has been observed in parts of Serra da Mantiqueira stretching through Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo.
