Telmatobius truebae is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, rivers, and canals and ditches.
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.
Rhinella truebae is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is endemic to Colombia.
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 brevipes is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland, subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, rivers, arable land, and canals and ditches.
The Ancash water frog is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland and rivers with stony bottoms and weak currents. This species has been assessed as Vulnerable by the IUCN under criteria B1ab(iii,v), and has an extent of occurrence of 16,946 km2 across the Central Peruvian Andes at altitudes of 3,680–4,818 m asl. All populations occur in different hydrographic systems, and could qualify as being quite fragmented in its distribution, and though not specifically recorded, anthropogenic pressures such as pollution from mining concessions, collection for food and possible chytrid infection.
Telmatobius colanensis is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to northern Peru and only known from its type locality on the Cordillera Colán, near La Peca, Amazonas Region.
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 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 jelskii, also known as the Acancocha water frog, is a near-threatened species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae, endemic to the Andes of central Peru. This semiaquatic frog is found in and near streams and ditches at altitudes of 2,700–4,500 m (8,900–14,800 ft). It breeds in streams.
Telmatobius mayoloi is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland and rivers. This species is primarily found in central Peru. They can also be found in Andes, Ecuador, Chile, and Argentina in high elevation areas ranging from 1,300 to 5,400 meters high.
Telmatobius necopinus is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest and rivers.
Telmatobius pefauri is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to extreme northern Chile. It was already feared that this species is extinct, but recent research has suggested that the species is extant at several localities in the Arica y Parinacota Region, albeit at low numbers. Furthermore, morphological and genetic data suggest that Telmatobius zapahuirensis is a synonym of Telmatobius pefauri. Common name Arico water frog has been coined for this species.
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 rimac is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland, subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, rivers, arable land, pastureland, and canals and ditches.
Madecassophryne is a monotypic genus of frogs in the family Microhylidae. It is represented by the single species, Madecassophryne truebae. It is endemic to Madagascar. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and rocky areas. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Telmatobius mendelsoni is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It was last seen in 1984 and is believed to be possibly extinct.
