Eleutherodactylus is a genus of frogs in the family Eleutherodactylidae. [2] Many of the 200 species of the genus are commonly known as "rain frogs" or "robber frogs", due to their sharp, high-pitched, insect-like calls. [3] They are found from the southern United States south to Central America, and reach their greatest diversity in the Caribbean.
The Ceratophryidae, also known as common horned frogs, are a family of frogs found in South America. It is a relatively small family with three extant genera and 12 species. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Despite the common name, not all species in the family have the horn-like projections at the eyes.
The Mantellidae are an amphibian family of the order Anura (frogs and toads), and are endemic to the Indian Ocean islands of Madagascar and Mayotte. [1] [2] At first glance, the diminutive, brightly-coloured mantellas appear visually similar to (and indeed fill similar ecological niches as) the Latin American poison dart frogs, such as Dendrobates, Oophaga and Phyllobates, among others.
The first is somewhat toad-like and can often be found on land. The second is smoother and more frog-like, preferring the water. [7] The third genus was until recently considered extinct, and is represented by the recently rediscovered Hula painted frog. All of the species have pond-dwelling tadpoles.
