Telmatobius oxycephalus is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Argentina. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest and rivers.
Telmatobius is a genus of frogs native to the Andean highlands in South America, where they are found in Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, northwestern Argentina and northern Chile. It is the only genus in the family Telmatobiidae. Some sources recognize Batrachophrynus as a valid genus distinct from Telmatobius.
Telmatobius macrostomus, also known as the Lake Junin (giant) frog or Andes smooth frog, is a very large and endangered species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. This completely aquatic frog is endemic to lakes and associated waters at altitudes of 4,000–4,600 m (13,100–15,100 ft) in the Andes of Junín and Pasco in central Peru. It has been introduced to slow-moving parts of the upper Mantaro River, although it is unclear if this population still persists.
Telmatobius arequipensis is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to southern Peru. It has an altitudinal range of 2,000–4,500 m (6,600–14,800 ft) asl. Two subspecies have been described, Telmatobius arequipensis arequipensis and Telmatobius arequipensis natatorVellard, 1955. Its common name is Chili water frog, after its type locality near Río Chili.
Telmatobius atahualpai is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to the Cordillera Central of northern Peru and found in the San Martín and Amazonas Regions at 2,600–4,000 m (8,500–13,100 ft) asl.
Telmatobius ceiorum is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae, and which is endemic to Argentina. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest and rivers, and it is threatened by habitat loss.
Telmatobius contrerasi is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Argentina. Its natural habitat is rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Telmatobius dankoi, also known as the Loa water frog, is a species of critically endangered aquatic frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Chile and is only known from its type locality near Calama, in the El Loa province. Only 14 individuals are known from captivity following the destruction of its habitat prior to 2019, so it may already be extinct in the wild. However, it is doubtfully distinct from Telmatobius halli and thus may not be a distinct species.
Telmatobius fronteriensis is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is found in Chile and possibly Bolivia. Its natural habitats are rivers, freshwater marshes, geothermal wetlands, and ponds.
Telmatobius gigas is a critically endangered species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to the Huayllamarca River at an altitude of about 4,000 metres (13,000 ft) in the Carangas Province in Bolivia. Its tiny range makes it highly vulnerable to pollution, and it may also be threatened by over-harvesting for medicinal use and the disease chytridiomycosis. As suggested by its scientific name, this is a very large species of frog with a snout-vent length of up to 10.9 centimetres (4.3 in) in females. In the genus Telmatobius, only two other threatened species, the Titicaca water frog and Lake Junin frog, are larger. T. gigas is very closely related to the smaller and more widespread T. marmoratus, and they might be conspecific.
Telmatobius hauthali is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Argentina. Its natural habitat is geothermal wetlands. It is threatened by habitat loss which may lead to its extinction.
Telmatobius laticeps is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Argentina. Its natural habitat is rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Telmatobius peruvianus, also known as the Peru water frog, is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. This semiaquatic frog is endemic to Andean highlands in southeastern Peru and far northern Chile where found in streams and small rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss, pollution, collection for human consumption and infection by chytrid fungi, and it has not been seen in Chile since 1986.
Telmatobius pinguiculus is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to the Catamarca Province of Argentina. Its natural habitats are rivers located in wetlands and grasslands. Major threats to the survival of the species include pollution, loss of habitats due to human actions, and invasive species.
Telmatobius pisanoi is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Argentina. Its natural habitats are rivers and swampland. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Telmatobius stephani is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Argentina. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest and rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The Spot-naped Butterflyfish, also known as the pig-face butterflyfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish. a butterflyfish belonging to the family Chaetodontidae. It is found in the Indo- West Pacific region from Sri Lanka to Queensland, north to Indonesia and the Philippines.
The coral hawkfish, the pixy hawkfish or sharp-headed hawkfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a hawkfish belonging to the family Cirrhitidae. It is native to tropical reefs of the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. It occasionally is found in the aquarium trade.
Telmatobius chusmisensis is a species of frogs in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to northern Chile and is only known from a number of localities in the Tarapacá Region. The specific name chusmisensis refers to its type locality, Chusmisa.
Telmatobius ventriflavum, the Andean Water Frog, is a species of water frogs from the western Andes in Peru.
The snooty wrasse, also known as the red maori wrasse, is a species of marine ray-finned fish from the family Labridae, the wrasses. It is a widespread Indo-Pacific reef fish.
