Hypodactylus fallaciosus is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. [2] It is endemic to Peru. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. [1]
Niceforonia aderca is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to Colombia and only known from its type locality, Betulia, Santander, on the western flank of the Cordillera Oriental. It is only known from the holotype collected in 2001.
Niceforonia araiodactyla is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae endemic to Peru. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland.
Niceforonia babax is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae found in Colombia and Ecuador. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and heavily degraded former forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Niceforonia elassodiscus is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae found in Colombia and Ecuador. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Hypodactylus latens is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to the Cordillera Central of Colombia, and is known from the Antioquia, Caldas, Quindío, and Tolima Departments. Its natural habitats are sub-páramos and páramos at elevations of 2,690–3,350 m (8,830–10,990 ft) above sea level. It occurs on fallen leaves and grass roots. It is a rare species, although its cryptic habits might contribute to this impression. It is threatened by habitat loss (deforestation).
Niceforonia mantipus, the mantipus robber frog, is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to Colombia and found on the Cordillera Occidental and Cordillera Central, 800–2,400 m (2,600–7,900 ft) asl. Its natural habitats are cloud forests and secondary forests. It lives in leaf-litter and on ground. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Niceforonia nigrovittata is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae found in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and possibly Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and heavily degraded former forests.
Niceforonia adenobrachia is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to the Cordillera Central, Colombia, in the Caldas and Tolima Departments.
Niceforonia brunnea, the Carchi Andes frog, is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae found in Colombia and Ecuador. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Niceforonia columbiana is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae, sometimes known as the Colombian Andes frog. It is endemic to Colombia. It is only known from the holotype, which is now lost. The type locality, "Monte Redondo, Buenavista" on the Cordillera Oriental, is in either Cundinamarca or Meta Department, and is considered questionable by some. It might be a synonym of Leptodactylus hylaedactylus.
Niceforonia lucida is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to Peru and known from the Cordillera Central west of the Apurímac River in the Ayacucho Region. Common name Cannatella's Andes frog has been coined for it. The specific name lucida refers to distinctive coloration of this frog relative to frogs in the genus Phrynopus, the genus where this species was initially placed. However, later studies have moved it to other genera where its colors are less distinctive.
Niceforonia nana is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to the Cordillera Oriental, Colombia, and found at 3,000–3,850 m (9,840–12,630 ft) asl.
Niceforonia peraccai is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae that is endemic to Ecuador. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland, and subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The Strabomantidae are a family of frogs native to South America. These frogs lack a free-living larval stage and hatch directly into miniature "froglets". This family includes Pristimantis, the most speciose genus of any vertebrate.
Niceforonia is a genus of frogs in the family Strabomantidae found in northern South America. The name refers to Nicéforo María, Colombian herpetologist.
Ptychadena nilotica is a species of frog in the family Ptychadenidae. It is found in the upper reaches of the Nile and its major tributaries in Egypt, Sudan, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Democratic Republic of Congo, and possibly Djibouti, Eritrea, and Somalia. Its natural habitats are wetlands near rivers, large lakes, swamps, and freshwater marshes and springs., as well as dry savanna, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, arable land, irrigation canals and ditches.
María Cristina Ardila-Robayo was a Colombian herpetologist. She was professor at the National University of Colombia, Bogotá, and worked closely with the Natural History Museum of the university. In 2010 she was credited as having described 28 new species of amphibians from Colombia; as of late 2018, the Amphibian Species of the World lists 31 valid species described by her. She also worked with caimans and crocodiles and lead biodiversity restoration projects.
