Hyalinobatrachium taylori is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. Its common name is Taylor's glass frog, [2] and in Spanish, ranita de cristal de Taylor. [1] It may represent at least two distinct species. [2] [3]

Etymology

The specific name taylori honors Edward Harrison Taylor (1889–1978), an American herpetologist. [4]

Description

Hyalinobatrachium taylori has dark green dorsal ground colour with pale green spots, usually with one white fleck in the middle. Ventral skin is transparent, such that internal organs are visible. Bones are translucent green. [3]

Distribution and habitat

Hyalinobatrachium taylori is found from the Guiana Shield in French Guiana, Suriname, Guyana, and southeastern Venezuela, and presumably adjacent Brazil. The type locality, "New River, Guyana", is in the region claimed by Suriname. [2] [3]

Its natural habitats are tropical rainforest and montane Guianan forests near streams. This arboreal species lays its eggs on leaves overhanging streams, and upon hatching the tadpoles drop to the stream. It is not considered threatened by the IUCN. [1]

Amazophrynella minuta is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. However, because of the poor description of new Amazophrynella species, it is not clear which old records refer to this species and which records refer to the new species.

Oscaecilia zweifeli is a species of caecilian in the family Caeciliidae. It is a poorly known species only known from few specimens: the holotype from the imprecise type locality, "a small creek tributary to Río Mazaruni" in Guyana, one from similarly imprecise Cayenne in French Guiana, and another one from the Nouragues research station in French Guiana. The specific name zweifeli honors Richard G. Zweifel, an American herpetologist. Common names Zweifel's caecilian and tributary caecilian have been coined for it.

Hyalinobatrachium aureoguttatum, also known as the Atrato Glass Frog and Sun Glassfrog, is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae.
