Leptodactylus natalensis is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to Brazil where it is found on the eastern coast. [2] 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. [1]
Male Leptodactylus natalensis grow to a snout–vent length of 29–42 mm (1.1–1.7 in) and females to 33–49 mm (1.3–1.9 in). [3]
Leptodactylus macrosternum is a species of frogs in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in northern Argentina and adjacent eastern Bolivia, Paraguay, northern Uruguay, and southern and western Brazil. The specific name chaquensis refers to the area of Gran Chaco in Argentina. Common name Cei's white-lipped frog has been coined for it, although this particular species lacks the light upper lip stripe common in the genus.
Leptodactylus colombiensis is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in the foothills and lower slopes of the Andes in Colombia and westernmost Venezuela (Táchira).
Leptodactylus diedrus is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. Its local name is sapito confuso. It is found in northwestern Amazon Basin in Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, and Peru. Leptodactylus diedrus are found in rocky habitats in tropical rainforest as well as in flooded forest.
Leptodactylus griseigularis is a species of frogs in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in the Amazonian slopes of the Andes in Bolivia and Peru.
Leptodactylus labyrinthicus is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. Its common names are labyrinth frog, pepper frog, South American pepper frog, and pepper foam frog. This frog is found in central and southeastern Brazil, northeast Argentina, and eastern Paraguay. Earlier reports from Bolivia refer to Leptodactylus vastus, or possibly an unnamed species.
Leptodactylus leptodactyloides is a species of frogs in the family Leptodactylidae. Its local name is sapito leptodactilo. It is found in the greater Amazon Basin and the Guianas. Leptodactylus leptodactyloides occurs in a range of habitats: savannas, open areas, forest edges, and secondary and primary lowland forest. Reproduction takes place in temporary waterbodies.
Leptodactylus mystacinus is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in eastern Bolivia and eastwards to Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay and southwards to central Argentina. It is also known as the mustached frog.
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.
Leptodactylus notoaktites is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to southeastern Brazil and is known from the states of Santa Catarina, Paraná, and São Paulo state. Common name Iporanga white-lipped frog has been coined for it.
Leptodactylus latrans is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is native to much of South America east of the Andes, and Trinidad and Tobago. It has many common names, including rana criolla, sapo-rana llanero, butter frog, and lesser foam frog.
Leptodactylus pascoensis is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to Peru where it is only known from two localities ( ). It is an inhabitant of forest floor of the Amazonian flanks of the Andes. Reproduction takes place in foam nests in temporary ponds.
Leptodactylus petersii is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found widely in the Guianas and the Amazon Basin. It has been confused with Leptodactylus podicipinus and Leptodactylus wagneri, complicating the interpretation of older records and accounts.
Leptodactylus podicipinus, sometimes known as the pointedbelly frog, is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in northern Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia, and Brazil.
Leptodactylus rhodomystax is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in the Guianas through northern and central Brazil to Amazonian Bolivia, Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador, and possibly in Venezuela where most if not all records represent misidentifications of Leptodactylus riveroi.
Leptodactylus spixi is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to eastern Brazil and occurs in the Atlantic forests of the Bahia, Espírito Santo, and Rio de Janeiro states. The specific name spixi honors Johann Baptist von Spix, a German naturalist who worked in Brazil. Prior to its description, this species had been referred to as Leptodactylus mystaceus(Spix, 1824). Common name Spix's white-lipped frog has been coined for this species.
Leptodactylus syphax is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in extreme eastern Bolivia, central to northeastern Brazil, and Paraguay. Common names basin white-lipped frog and whistling foam frog have been coined for it.
Leptodactylus troglodytes is a species of frogs in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to northeastern Brazil and occurs from northern Minas Gerais and Bahia to Maranhão, Piauí, Ceará, and Rio Grande do Norte. The specific name, troglodytes, refers to its habit of breeding in underground chambers.
The Windward ditch frog or smooth-skinned ditch frog is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in the Lesser Antilles, the Guianas, and in the northernmost Brazil (Roraima) and in Venezuela. The Lesser Antillean part of the range might be due to human introduction. In 2018, the species was recorded from Colombia for the first time.
Leptodactylus wagneri is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in northern South America.
Leptodactylus discodactylus is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in the Amazonian Bolivia, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia.
