Adelophryne Michelin
''Adelophryne'' is a genus of frogs in the family Eleutherodactylidae. They are native to northern South America east of the Andes, known roughly from the area corresponding to the Guiana Shield, as well as to the coastal area of Bahia, Brazil. Whether the genus is truly distinct from ''Phyzelaphryne'' remains uncertain. Common name shield frogs has been proposed for this genus, although the stem flea frog is used for some species. Etymology The generic name is derived from the Greek words ''adelos'', meaning "unseen, unknown, obscure", and ''phryne'' for "toad". It refers to the fact that these small frogs were seldom collected until relatively lately. Description ''Adelophryne'' are small leaf-litter frogs. Adults of the largest species, ''A. patamona'', measure no more than in snout–to– vent length and the remaining all are less than . At in males and in females, ''A. michelin'' is not only the smallest in the genus, but among the smallest frogs of the Americas, with ...

Adelophryne Mucronatus
''Adelophryne mucronatus'' is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae. It is endemic to the coastal areas of the Bahia state in eastern Brazil; it is known from the municipalities of Itacaré, Ilhéus, and Una. The specific name ''mucronatus'' is derived from Latin and means "pointed", referring to the pointed fingers tips of this frog. Description Adult males measure and adult females in snout–vent length. The snout is rounded. The tympanum is small but distinct, including a complete annulus. The canthus rostralis is indistinct. The fingers have no webbing nor discs, but they have pointed tips. The toes have no webbing but have pointed tips; toes III and IV bear discs. Skin is smooth with scattered small granules. The dorsal coloration varies from reddish brown (with or without dark brown spots) to homogeneous bluish gray. There may be irregular dark patches, inter-orbital lines, or a mid-dorsal Y-like pattern. The iris is reddish brown to yellowish bro ...

Tympanum (anatomy)
The tympanum is an external hearing structure in animals such as mammals, birds, some reptiles, some amphibians and some insects. Using sound, vertebrates and many insects are capable of sensing their prey, identifying and locating their predators, warning other individuals, and locating potential mates and rivals by hearing the intentional or unintentional sounds they make. In general, any animal that reacts to sounds or communicates by means of sound, needs to have an auditory mechanism. This typically consists of a membrane capable of vibration known as the tympanum, an air-filled chamber and sensory organs to detect the auditory stimuli. Anurans In frogs and toads, the tympanum is a large external oval shape membrane made up of nonglandular skin. It is located just behind the eye. It does not process sound waves; it simply transmits them to the inner parts of the amphibian's ear, which is protected from the entry of water and other foreign objects. A frog's ear drum works ...

Adelophryne Patamona
''Adelophryne patamona'' is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae. It is endemic to the Pacaraima Mountains of southwestern Guyana, although it is likely to also occur in the adjacent Roraima state of Brazil. It is most closely related to '' A. gutturosa''. Description Adult males measure (based on just two individuals) and adult females in snout–vent length. It is the largest species of its genus. The snout is rounded. The tympanum is small and covered by a fold posterodorsally. The skin of the dorsum, venter, and limbs is smooth but has scattered small tubercles. The flanks and rear of the thighs are areolate. The front toes are flattened, unwebbed, and have small pointed discs at their tips. The back toes are also flattened, unwebbed, and have small narrow discs at their tips. Colouration is variable; the colour of the dorsum, flanks, and dorsal surfaces of limbs is medium brown, and there are black markings. Some specimens are darker and have more pale blu ...

Adelophryne Pachydactyla
''Adelophryne pachydactyla'' is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae. It is endemic to the coastal area of south-central Bahia state, Brazil. Some specimens first identified as ''A. pachydactyla'' have later been found to represent a new species, '' Adelophryne mucronatus''; the two species can occur in sympatry. The specific name ''pachydactyla'' is derived from Greek ''pachys'' (=thick) and ''daktylos'' (=finger), referring to the thick, short, swollen fingers of this frog. Description ''Adelophryne pachydactyla'' was described based on a single specimen, the holotype. It is an adult male measuring in snout–vent length, and with a subgular vocal sac. The head is slightly longer than it is wide. The snout is rounded. The tympanic annulus is incomplete, obscured by skin in its upper parts. There is no supra-tympanic fold and the canthus rostralis is indistinct. The limbs are relatively short. The fingers are short and have swollen, subdigital pads but no dis ...

Adelophryne Nordestina
''Adelophryne'' is a genus of frogs in the family Eleutherodactylidae. They are native to northern South America east of the Andes, known roughly from the area corresponding to the Guiana Shield, as well as to the coastal area of Bahia, Brazil. Whether the genus is truly distinct from ''Phyzelaphryne'' remains uncertain. Common name shield frogs has been proposed for this genus, although the stem flea frog is used for some species. Etymology The generic name is derived from the Greek words ''adelos'', meaning "unseen, unknown, obscure", and ''phryne'' for "toad". It refers to the fact that these small frogs were seldom collected until relatively lately. Description ''Adelophryne'' are small leaf-litter frogs. Adults of the largest species, ''A. patamona'', measure no more than in snout–to– vent length and the remaining all are less than . At in males and in females, ''A. michelin'' is not only the smallest in the genus, but among the smallest frogs of the Americas, with ...
