Leptodactylus latinasus (common name: oven frog, in Spanish urnero) is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in the Gran Chaco of northern Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay and east and south to southern Brazil and Uruguay. [2] Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical grasslands near waterbodies. It tolerates anthropogenic disturbance well. It breeds in underground chambers. This abundant and adaptable species is not facing any important threats. [1]

It is now known to have kneecaps, a feature previously unknown in amphibians and thought to have evolved in different taxonomic classes, the reptile and the mammal. [3]

Leptodactylus fragilis, known under many common names such as the Mexican white-lipped frog, American white-lipped frog or simply white-lipped frog, is a species of leptodactylid frog. Its distribution ranges from the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas in the United States south through Mexico and Central America to Colombia and Venezuela. It is often—wrongly—referred to as Leptodactylus labialis(Cope, 1878), which is a junior synonym of Leptodactylus mystacinus.

<i>Leptodactylus natalensis</i> Species of frog

Leptodactylus natalensis is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to Brazil where it is found on the eastern coast. Leptodactylus natalensis is a very common species. It lives in muddy places at secondary lowland forests, shrubby vegetation, and wet cow pastures near forest, but not in primary forest. Breed takes place in temporary ponds.

Leptodactylus nesiotus is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It was originally described from Icacos Swamp on the south-western peninsula of Trinidad Island and was for a long time believed to be endemic to the island. However, in 2018 specimens were also reported from Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. It is probably the sister taxon of Leptodactylus validus. Indeed, the French Guianan records were first identified as L. validus, and it is possible that also some other L. validus records refer to Leptodactylus nesiotus. It is likely that this species is also found in Venezuela, perhaps even wider in open areas of northern South America.
