Phasmahyla cochranae, sometimes called the chocolatefoot leaf frog, is a species of frog in the subfamily Phyllomedusinae. It is endemic to Brazil. [2] [3] People have seen it between 800 and 1600 meters above sea level. [4]
The adult male frog measures 28 to 37 mm in snout-vent length and the adult female frog 41 to 46 mm. It has vertical pupils in its eyes and no webbed skin on its forefeet. This frog can change color, showing green or brick brown. It has orange, purple, or brown spots on its sides. [3]
This frog lives in vegetation near the edges of streams in forests. Scientists have only found small groups, no more than three frogs singing together. The female frog lays eggs in folded leaf nests hanging above streams. The eggs are cream-white. Clutches number about 32. When the eggs hatch, the tadpoles fall into the stream, where they develop for about five months, feeding at the surface of the water. [3]
Many of places within this frog's range are protected parks, for example Parque Estadual Nova Baden and Parque Municipal do Itapetinga. However, it still suffers from increased ultraviolet radiation and habitat fragmentation. [3] Human beings cut down the forests for agriculture, tree farms, livestock grazing, and urban expansion. [4]
The specific name cochranae honours Doris Mable Cochran, an American herpetologist. [5]
The whistling coquí, Cochran's treefrog, or Cochran's robber frog is a species of frog native to Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, and the British Virgin Islands. This nocturnal insectivore is also referred to as the coquí pitito in Puerto Rico. Their distinctive song is a single, rising whistle, which is repeated and followed by three clicking sounds.
Nymphargus grandisonae is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. It is found in Andes of Colombia and Ecuador. Its natural habitat is tropical moist montane forest ; larvae develop in streams and still-water pools. Its habitat is threatened by habitat loss, introduced fish, and agricultural pollution, but it is still a common species not considered threatened by the IUCN.
Colostethus inguinalis is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to northwestern and northcentral Colombia. Its vernacular name is common rocket frog, although this name can also refer to Colostethus panamansis that until 2004 was considered a junior synonym of Colostethus inguinalis. Much of the older literature on Colostethus inguinalis is actually about Colostethus panamansis.
Colostethus panamansis, also known as the Panama rocket frog or (ambiguously) common rocket frog, is a species of poison dart frog. It is found in northwestern Colombia and Panama. It is one of the best studied poison dart frogs; however, until 2004 Colostethus panamansis was considered a synonym of Colostethus inguinalis, and consequently the older literature uses that name.

Phasmahyla cruzi is a species of frog in the subfamily Phyllomedusinae. It is endemic to Brazil and solely known from the vicinity of its type locality, Rio das Pedras Reserve in the municipality of Mangaratiba, Rio de Janeiro state. The range extends into the adjacent Paraty municipality. This species is named for Carlos Alberto Gonçalves da Cruz, Brazilian herpetologist.
