Paratelmatobius poecilogaster is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to the Serra do Mar range, Brazil. [2] It is a terrestrial frog found near small temporary streams inside primary forest. The eggs are laid in small ponds at the edges of the temporary streams. Though the known populations are known from inside protected areas, it is likely to be threatened by habitat loss outside those areas. [1]

The Guatemala plateau frog is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It occurs in Guatemala and southern Mexico. It is impossible to morphologically distinguish this species from Lithobates forreri and Lithobates brownorum, and the validity of it has been questioned. It is an uncommon frog that inhabits cloud forests, including degraded forest, and grassland. Breeding takes place in streams and small temporary ponds. It is threatened by habitat degradation caused by agricultural encroachment, wood extraction, human settlement, and water pollution.

Chalcorana chalconota is a species of "true frog", family Ranidae. It is endemic to Indonesia and occurs in southern Sumatra, Java, Bali, and a few smaller islands.

This species is also known as the Schlegel's frog, brown stream frog, copper-cheeked frog, or, among with many other species, white-lipped frog.
