<i>Cardioglossa leucomystax</i> Species of frog

Cardioglossa leucomystax is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is found in large parts of Central Africa, extending into south-easternmost West Africa (Nigeria). The type locality is Cap Saint Jean in Equatorial Guinea. Populations from the Upper Guinean Forests of West Africa between Ghana and Sierra Leone previously allocated to this species were in 2008 described as a new species, Cardioglossa occidentalis. Common name silver long-fingered frog has been coined for Cardioglossa leucomystax.

Dendrophryniscus leucomystax is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is endemic to southern and southeastern Brazil and occurs in coastal forests of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Santa Catarina states. It is a very common species living in secondary and primary forests on leaves near the ground and in bogs. Breeding takes place in rain pools on the ground. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by clear-cutting of forests and large-scale livestock farming.

The white-chested tinkerbird is a species of bird in the Lybiidae family . It is endemic to the Zambezian Cryptosepalum dry forests of Zambia. It is only known from the single type specimen, collected in 1964 by Jali Makawa, the field assistant and collector for Constantine Benson. Genetic evidence suggests that it may not be a separate species, but instead be a population embedded within the yellow-rumped tinkerbird if it is not an aberrant individual.
