Nymphargus cochranae is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. It is found in the lower Amazonian slopes of the Cordillera Occidental of Ecuador and adjacent Colombia, though the Colombian records require confirmation.
Pristimantis simonsii is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to Peru and known from humid puna grassland in the northern part of the Cordillera Occidental in the Cajamarca Region, at elevations of 3,050–3,760 m (10,010–12,340 ft) asl. Its natural habitat is páramo or puna grassland. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by agricultural expansion. It was named for American scientific collector Perry O. Simons.
Engystomops coloradorum, also known as Colorado dwarf frog, is a species of frogs in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to the Pacific lowlands and foothills of the Andes in the Pichincha and Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas Provinces, Ecuador.
Engystomops montubio is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to western Ecuador. It inhabits lowland evergreen and semi-deciduous forest and lowland dry shrub. It also inhabits open man-made habitats, such as pastures, near buildings, etc. Breeding takes place in pools during the rainy season.
Engystomops petersi is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in Amazonian Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. It is morphologically similar to its sibling species, Engystomops freibergi, and for a period the latter was considered to be a junior synonym of Engystomops petersi. Taxonomy and classification of this species is constantly changing due to the continual evolution of behavioral isolation and rapid speciation in the region. There are also records from the Guianas that have not yet been allocated to either species. Divergence of these two species seems to have been driven by behavioural isolation related to male call characteristics more than geographic isolation.
Engystomops pustulatus is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is known with certainty from western Ecuador, whereas the status of Peruvian records is ambiguous as they may refer to an undescribed species or possibly Engystomops puyango. Nevertheless, given that E. pustulatus is now known from Huaquillas in southern Ecuador, near the Peruvian border, it is likely to be found in Peru too.
The Túngara frog is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is a small nocturnal terrestrial frog found in Mexico, Central America, and the northeastern regions of South America.
Engystomops randi is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to western Ecuador. It inhabits lowland deciduous and semi-deciduous forest and evergreen Costa forest. It also inhabits open man-made habitats, such as pastures, near buildings, and agricultural lands. Breeding takes place in small pools during the rainy season. The species makes a floating foam nest.
Leptobrachium ailaonicum is a species of amphibian in the family Megophryidae. It is found in Yunnan in southern China and on Fansipan mountain in northern Vietnam. Its type locality is Xujiaba in the Ailao Mountains in Jingdong County, Yunnan. At the time of the IUCN assessment in 2004, the population on Fansipan was considered a separate species, Leptobrachium (Vibrissaphora) echinatum, and assessed to be an endangered species.
The whistling rain frog is a species of frogs in the family Brevicipitidae. It is found in South Africa, Eswatini, and possibly Mozambique. Its natural habitats are temperate forests, dry savanna, moist savanna, and sandy shores. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The Jemez Mountains salamander is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae endemic to New Mexico in the United States. Its natural habitat is temperate forests. It is threatened by habitat loss, is in rapid decline, and was placed on the IUCN Red List in 2013.
Nanorana pleskei is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. Until recently it has been only known from southwestern/central western China from elevations between 3,300–4,500 m (10,800–14,800 ft), but there is now one record also from Bhutan. Notice, however, that earlier records outside China have turned out to be misidentifications.
Nanorana arnoldi is a large species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in southwestern China, northern Myanmar, eastern Nepal, and adjacent northeastern India. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, rivers, and freshwater springs. It is primarily threatened by collection for consumption, but also by habitat loss.
Quasipaa boulengeri is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is known under many common names, including Boulenger's spiny frog, spiny-bellied frog, and Boulenger's paa frog. It is found in southern and southwestern China and northern Vietnam. It is a very common species that has declined. It is collected for human consumption, and it is also threatened by habitat loss. Its natural habitats are hill streams and ponds.
The Indian flying frog is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It is the only species in the monotypic genus Pterorana. It is found in India and Myanmar but extirpated in Nepal. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and rivers. The species was discovered by M.Khare and Kiyasetuo in 1986.
Odorrana chapaensis is a species of frog in the family Ranidae that is found in southern Yunnan in China and in northern Vietnam. It is likely that it also occurs in nearby areas of Laos.
Raorchestes munnarensis is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae endemic to Munnar, Kerala, along the Ghat road to Devikulam in the southern Western Ghats, India.
Zhangixalus dorsoviridis, also known as the green-back treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae that is found in northern Vietnam and southern China (Yunnan). It may be confused with Rhacophorus nigropunctatus. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, freshwater marshes, and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Engystomops is a genus of frogs in the family Leptodactylidae. They are known commonly as foam frogs or túngara frogs, though the latter name most commonly refers to Engystomops pustulosus. They are native to the Americas from southern Mexico south to the Amazon Basin.
Engystomops freibergi is a frog native to the Amazonian Brazil, southeastern Peru, and Amazonian Bolivia. For a while, it was considered to be a synonym of Engystomops petersi, its sibling species, but its species status was resurrected in a study published in 1998. Nevertheless, these two species have also been mixed in later studies, and there are records from the Guianas that have not yet been allocated to either species. Divergence of these two species seems to have been driven by behavioural isolation related to male call characteristics more than geographic isolation.
