Engystomops montubio is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to western Ecuador. [2] 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. [1]

Blomberg's toad, also known as the Colombian giant toad, is a very large species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is found in rainforests at altitudes between 200 and 650 metres in western Colombia and northwestern Ecuador. It has been recorded in Florida in 1963, apparently because of pet escape or release, but did not get established.

<i>Engystomops petersi</i> Species of amphibian

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. 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.

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.

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.

Sumaco

Sumaco is a symmetrical, isolated stratovolcano, that is set off from the main Ecuador volcanic axis. Its rocks are very distinct from those from most Andean volcanoes because of its lack of andesitic composition, in favour of basanite and phonolitic rock. Sumaco is heavily forested and contains a small cone in its broad summit crater. An historical eruption occurred around 1895.

<i>Engystomops</i> Genus of amphibians

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.
