Kaloula nonggangensis is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to China, where it is so far only known from the vicinity of its type locality in Nonggang National Nature Reserve in Longzhou County, southwestern Guangxi. [1] [2] [3] [4] Its range might extend into nearby Vietnam. [1] Common name Nonggang narrow-mouthed frog has been coined for it. [1] [2]
Adult males measure 41–53 mm (1.6–2.1 in) and adult females, based only a single specimen, 52 mm (2.0 in) in snout–vent length. The overall appearance is rotund. The snout is slightly pointed with its tip rounded. The tympanum is hidden and indistinct; the tympanic fold can be prominent or indistinct. The limbs are relatively short. The fingers have no webbing but they bear obviously dilated disks. The toes have no discs but are almost completely webbed (two thirds webbed in the female). Skin is smooth. The upper parts are light olive green with dark moss-green marbling; the loreal region, tympanic region, and tympanum are slightly dark olive-green. The lower parts are creamy white. Males have a subgular vocal sac. [2]
Kaloula nonggangensis is known from primary and secondary karst evergreen forests, and from cultivated fields near the forest, at elevations of 150–200 m (490–660 ft) above sea level. Individuals have been observed gathering in a temporary pool after a rainstorm. [1] [2]
The entire known range of this species is within a protected area. There are no known threats. [1]

"Centrolene" medemi is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. The species occurs in the Cordillera Oriental in the Tolima, Caquetá, and Putumayo Departments in Colombia and adjacent Napo in Ecuador. The generic placement of this species within the subfamily Centroleninae is uncertain. The specific name medemi honors Fred Medem, collector of the holotype. Common name Medem giant glass frog has been coined for it.
Nymphargus chancas is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. Until recently it was only known from its type locality in the Lamas Province in Peru; however, it is now known to occur more widely in the northern San Martín Region of Peru, extending into the Cordillera del Cóndor in Zamora-Chinchipe Province, Ecuador.
Dendropsophus garagoensis is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to the eastern slope of the Cordillera Oriental in Boyacá Department, Colombia. Common name Garagoa treefrog has been proposed for it.

It is endemic to Honduras where it is only known from near its type locality on the Cerro Búfalo, Cordillera de Nombre de Dios, at the edge of the Pico Bonito National Park. Common name McCranie's robber frog has been coined for this species. However, James McCranie himself has argued that this name "should be rejected in favor of a name associated with the type locality instead of a name tied to one of the three authors who named this species".
Kalophrynus menglienicus is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is known from the vicinity of its type locality in Menglian County in southern Yunnnan, China, and from northern Vietnam; it is likely to occur in adjacent Myanmar and northern Laos.
