Scinax pyroinguinis is a species of frog in the family Hylidae from Peru's Ucayali River. It has unique orange and black markings on its inner hind legs. [1] [2]
Proctoporus is a genus of medium-sized lizards assigned to the family Gymnophthalmidae. Species in the genus Proctoporus occur in Yungas forests and wet montane grasslands on the upper edge of the Amazonian forest, between 1,000 and 4,000 metres elevation, from Central Peru in the north to Central Bolivia in the south.
Hylidae is a wide-ranging family of frogs commonly referred to as "tree frogs and their allies". However, the hylids include a diversity of frog species, many of which do not live in trees, but are terrestrial or semiaquatic.
Scinax is a genus of frogs in the family Hylidae found in eastern and southern Mexico to Argentina and Uruguay, Trinidad and Tobago, and Saint Lucia. These are small to moderate-sized tree frogs, drably colored. Duellman and Wiens resurrected this genus in 1992. The name originates from the Greek word skinos, meaning quick or nimble.
Sphaenorhynchus is a genus of frogs in the family Hylidae. They are also known as lime treefrogs or hatchet-faced treefrogs. They are found in the Amazon and Orinoco River basins of South America, the Guianas, Trinidad, and southern and eastern Brazil. The majority of the species are associated with the Atlantic Forest domain in Brazil.
Gastrotheca is a genus of frogs in the family Hemiphractidae. They are found in Central America south of Costa Rica and in South America. Most species occur in the American Cordillera from southern Costa Rica to north-western Argentina. This genus makes up the bulk of marsupial frog diversity; formerly it was placed in the "Leptodactylidae" assemblage.
Phrynopus is a genus of frogs of the family Strabomantidae. Their common name is Andes frogs. They are endemic to Peru and inhabit the upper humid montane forest and supra-treeline grassland in the Cordillera Oriental, with one record from the Peruvian Cordillera Occidental.
Dendropsophus marmoratus is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is found in the Amazon rainforest and montane forests in the eastern piedmont, in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, intermittent freshwater marshes, and heavily degraded former forest. "Marmoratus" in Latin means "marble," perhaps referring to the dorsal coloring pattern. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Scinax chiquitanus is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is known from Amazonian Bolivia and from Department of Madre de Dios in Peru. The Peruvian populations might represent a distinct species.
Scinax garbei is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, and possibly Guyana. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical swamps, rivers, intermittent freshwater marshes, plantations, rural gardens, heavily degraded former forest, and ponds.
Scinax ictericus is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is found in Colombia, Peru, possibly Bolivia, and possibly Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Scinax pedromedinae is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is found in the upper Amazon basin of eastern Peru, northern Bolivia, and western Brazil; its range might extent to extreme southeastern Colombia.
Scinax ruber is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is known in English as the red snouted treefrog or red-snouted treefrog, sometimes also Allen's snouted treefrog, the latter referring to the now-synonymized Scinax alleni. This widespread species is found in much of Amazonian and northern coastal South America and into Panama, as well as in some Caribbean islands as introduced populations. It is a complex containing several cryptic species.
Stenocercus is a genus of South American lizards, commonly called whorltail iguanas, of the family Tropiduridae. This genus has 80 valid described species.
Lynchius is a genus of frogs in the family Strabomantidae. The name honours herpetologist John D. Lynch. The distribution of Lynchius is restricted to the Cordillera Oriental in southern Ecuador and Cordillera de Huancabamba in northern Peru.
Selvasaura is a genus of the lizard family Gymnophthalmidae. The genus contains three species.
Phrynopus remotum is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is native to the central Andes of Peru in the Department of Huánuco at elevations of 3,730 meters. The frog is found in a single locality in a section of highlands adjacent to Marañón Dry valley in habitats such as grasslands, cloud forests, and alongside temporary streams. It can be found under rocks, moss, and other cover. The frog is small, with males reaching 19.3 to 23.3 mm SVL and females 28.7 mm (1.13 in) SVL. Due to the lack of sufficient water in its habitat, these frogs will lay their eggs in damp areas and the tadpoles will undergo metamorphosis inside the egg, later hatching as fully formed froglets.
Dendropsophini is a tribe of small neotropical tree frogs in the subfamily Hylinae. They are distributed from southern Mexico, throughout Central America, and down South America to northern Argentina and Uruguay. Removed from the synonymy of Hylinae in 2016, this taxon was formerly considered its own subfamily before being reclassified as a tribe. As defined by Favovich et al. in 2005, the tribe Dendrosophini contains the members of three former subfamilies within the Hylidae prior to taxonomic rearrangement: Dendropsophinae, Pseudinae, and Scinaxinae.
Gastrotheca gemma is a newly discovered species of frog that is found in the Cordillera de Colán National Sanctuary in the country of Peru. It is included in the genus Gastrotheca.
Scinax iquitorum is a frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Peru. It has been observed in the areas around Río Nanay and Río Yavari.
Scinax cosenzai is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Brazil. People have seen it in the Parque Estadual da Serra do Brigadero in Minas Gerais.
