Dendropsophus reichlei is a frog in the family Hylidae endemic to Bolivia, Peru, and Brazil. [1] [2]
The adult male frog measures 17.7–19.0 mm in snout-vent length and one adult female was 21.5 mm long. This frog has smooth skin on its back with only a few small tubercules. Its skin is light brown to red-brown to purple-brown in color. It has many small spots and marks. The area around its tympanum is dark in color. There are one or two small white spots under the eye. The inner skin of the hind legs meet is yellow or orange. The throat and belly are yellow. This frog has some webbed skin on its front feet and more on its hind feet. [3]
This frog arboreal, dwelling in the forest canopy of swamps, flooded places, and terra firma forests. Its habitat has many herbaceous plants, ferns, and palms. [3]
Dendropsophus aperomeus is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Peru and occurs on the Amazonian slopes of the Andes in northern and central Peru. Common name Balzapata treefrog has been coined for it.
Dendropsophus bogerti is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to the Andes of Colombia and occurs in the Cordillera Central in Antioquia, Caldas, and Chocó Departments. The specific name bogerti honors Charles Mitchill Bogert, an American herpetologist. Soon after its description in 1970, it was relegated to synonymy of Dendropsophus carnifex, but its species status was restored in 1997.
Dendropsophus carnifex, the executioner tree frog, executioner clown frog or hangman swamp frog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae.
Dendropsophus ebraccatus, also known as the hourglass treefrog or pantless treefrog, is a neotropical treefrog, found scattered throughout Central and South America from southern Mexico to northern Ecuador. The common names of D. ebraccatus come from the dark hourglass shaped pattern found in the centre of the back and the distinct smooth yellow thighs that contrast the rest of the brazenly patterned body. The contrasting of the smooth yellow thighs from the rest of the bodies pattern provide the illusion that D. ebraccatus is not wearing pants. The name ebraccata in Latin means "without trousers". D. ebraccatus has a number of unique reproductive features, such as the ability to alter rates of hatching shared in a number of Anura families. D. ebraccatus is also unique in its ability to alter its mode of reproduction as it is the only known vertebrate to be able to do so.
Dendropsophus joannae is a species of frogs in the family Hylidae. It is known from the Pando Department, northern Bolivia, western Brazil, and Madre de Dios Region of southeastern Peru. It is similar to Dendropsophus leali but is smaller, has a shorter snout, more protuberant eyes, and more tuberculate dorsal skin. The specific name joannae honors Mrs. Jo Ann Oxley Foster, a BIOPAT patron supporting taxonomic research and nature conservation.
Dendropsophus marmoratus is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is found in the Amazon rainforest and montane forests in the eastern piedmont, in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, intermittent freshwater marshes, and heavily degraded former forest. "Marmoratus" in Latin means "marble," perhaps referring to the dorsal coloring pattern. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Dendropsophus melanargyreus is a species of mid-size tree frog in the family Hylidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, French Guiana, Paraguay, and Suriname. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Dendropsophus phlebodes, the San Carlos treefrog or San Carlos dwarf treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is found in western Colombia, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Panama. Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forests, but it may also occur in disturbed habitats. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Dendropsophus riveroi is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is found in the upper Amazon Basin in western Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, and southern Colombia. In Ecuador it has been mixed with the newly described Dendropsophus shiwiarum. The specific name honours Juan A. Rivero.
Dendropsophus robertmertensi is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is found in the Pacific lowlands of El Salvador, Guatemala, and southeastern Mexico. A separate population exists in the Cintalapa Valley in Chiapas.
Dendropsophus stingi is a species of frogs in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Colombia and occurs on the eastern slope of the Cordillera Oriental in the Boyacá Department. The species was named after celebrity musician Sting in recognition of his "commitment and efforts to save the rain forest". Despite this, common name Kaplan's Garagoa treefrog has been coined for it.
The Ecuador slender-legged tree frog is a species of frog in the family Hylidae found in Colombia and Ecuador. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, rivers, intermittent freshwater marshes, rural gardens, and heavily degraded former forests.
Hyperolius castaneus is a species of frogs in the family Hyperoliidae. It is found in the highlands of western Burundi, Rwanda, and Uganda as well as eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. Common names of this species include Ahl's reed frog, brown reed frog, and montane reed frog. The status of the putative subspecies Hyperolius castaneus rhodogaster is unclear, and it may actually be a distinct species. Also Hyperolius constellatus, now a distinct species, was formerly recognized as a subspecies of H. castaneus.
Dendropsophus arndti is a species of "clown tree frogs" described in 2017 that lives in the Amazon basin of Bolivia. The specific name arndti honors professor Rudolf G. Arndt, in recognition of his financial support for research and nature conservation.
Dendropsophus frosti, the acre tree frog, is a frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to in South America. Scientists have seen it at two sites, one in Colombia and one in Peru.
Litoria christianbergmanni is a frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Indonesia and has been found in the Fakfak Mountains. Scientists reported it 860 meters above sea level.
Sphaenorhynchus mirim is a frog. Scientists have seen it in one place: Fazenda Gemada in Brazil.
Osteocephalus vilarsi is a frog in the family Hylidae endemic to the state of Amazonas in Brazil and the state of Amazonas in Venezuela. Scientists think it might also live in Colombia. This frog lives in white-sand forests.
