Anomaloglossus Blanci
''Anomaloglossus'' is a genus of frogs in the family Aromobatidae. The genus is endemic to the Guiana Shield in northern South America. It used to be placed in the family Dendrobatidae (together with other genera in the current Aromobatidae), and is still placed in that family by some sources. The name of the genus, from the Greek ''anomalos'' (=irregular, unusual) and ''glossa'' (=tongue), refers to the unusual tongue bearing the median lingual process, the only unambiguous phenotypic synapomorphy of this genus. Description ''Anomaloglossus'' are characterized by cryptic dorsal coloration (brown or gray). Dorsal skin is posteriorly granular. The toes are webbed, ranging from basal to extensive. The fingers have weakly expanded discs. Many species show large intraspecific morphological variability and lack of morphological characters that would allow easy species identification. The tadpoles A tadpole is the larval stage in the biological life cycle of an amphibian. Most ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Anomaloglossus Beebei
''Anomaloglossus beebei'' (common names: Beebe's rocket frog, golden rocket frog) is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. This frog is endemic to Guyana, specifically in the Kaieteur National Park. It mainly survives on the giant bromeliad called Brocchinia micrantha. The phytotelmata of this bromeliad is the site of oviposition and tadpole rearing and are defended over time by the males. The females of this species are more brightly golden colored whereas males are more of a dull tan with brown pigmentation. Males take care of offspring and are preferred due to the elongation of their calls. Description The A. beebei has granular central skin, and moderate basal toe webbing. The male A. beebei has a snout-vent length maximum of 16.80 mm. This frog has a shorter Finger I than Finger II and dorsolateral stripes, this helps differentiate them from other species. The golden rocket frog species exhibits a rare phenomenon of reverse sexual dichromatism, meaning that the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Anomaloglossus Breweri
''Anomaloglossus breweri'' is a species of frogs in the family Aromobatidae. It is only know from its type locality, Aprada-tepui in the Bolívar state of southeastern Venezuela. This species was discovered by scientists exploring the inaccessible and remote region of Aprada-tepui. It is a fast-moving frog that lives along creeks and in quiet pools along small streams along the slopes near the cave. The frog is named for Charles Brewer-Carías who collected the type series. Description The distinctive features of this species are its particular skin pattern, absence of fringes on fingers, moderate toe webbing, tongue characteristics, and yellow and orange coloration on its undersides. The type series consists of one female (the holotype), two males, and one unsexed juvenile. The female measures and the larger male in snout–vent length. Habitat and conservation ''Anomaloglossus breweri'' is only known from a collapsed steep gorge on the northwestern slope of the tepui at an ...

Anomaloglossus Praderioi
''Anomaloglossus praderioi'' is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is found in the Pantepui region of southeastern Venezuela and western Guyana. More specifically, this frog is known from Mount Roraima (its type locality; Venezuela/Guyana), Sierra de Lema in Venezuela, and Maringma-tepui in Guyana. Its actual range is probably wider and might reach into northern Brazil. Description ''Anomaloglossus praderioi'' are relatively small frogs, though medium-sized among ''Anomaloglossus'': males measure in snout–vent length and a single female . It has a robust body with shagreened to finely granular (more granular posteriorly) skin in the dorsum. Tadpoles are up to in length (Gosner stage 31) and dark brown to black in colour; they are of benthic feeder ecomorphological type. The male advertisement call consists of long trains of a single note repeated at a rate of 61–76 notes/min. Habitat and conservation ''Anomaloglossus praderioi'' occurs in montane medium ...

Anomaloglossus Parkerae
''Anomaloglossus parkerae'' is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. As currently known, it is endemic to Venezuela and is only know from near its type locality in the La Escalera, the Bolívar state, Venezuela, near the Guyanese border. However, its range is expected to extend southward to the Gran Sabana as well as into the adjacent Guyana. The specific name ''parkerae'' honors Dr. Nancy Parker, undergraduate adviser of one of the scientists who described the species. Description Adult males, based on the holotype that is the only male specimen in the type series, measure about and adult females in snout–vent length. The overall appearance is robust. The snout is bluntly rounded in dorsal view and posteroventrally inclined in profile. The tympanum is not visible in the male but is visible in the females. Supra-tympanic fold is absent. Forelimbs are long and slender. The finger tips have expanded discs; no webbing is present. The hind limbs are robust. The toes ...

Anomaloglossus Parimae
''Anomaloglossus parimae'' is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to Venezuela where it is only known from its type locality, Pista Constitución in the Parima Mountains in the Amazonas state; it is expected to be found in nearby Brazil too. Its natural habitat is tropical rainforest. It is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or dead, thereby ... caused by gold mining.

Anomaloglossus Murisipanensis
''Anomaloglossus murisipanensis'' is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to Venezuela where it is known from its type locality, the Murisipán-tepui in the Bolívar state. It is known from only one specimen collected under a rock in tropical montane forest Montane ecosystems are found on the slopes of mountains. The alpine climate in these regions strongly affects the ecosystem because temperatures fall as elevation increases, causing the ecosystem to stratify. This stratification is a crucial f ....

Anomaloglossus Kaiei
''Anomaloglossus kaiei'' is a species of frogs in the family Aromobatidae, commonly known as the Kaie rock frog. It was named in honor of Kaie, a great Chieftain of the Patamona tribe, who sacrificed himself to the Great Spirit Makonaima by canoeing over the Kaieteur falls in order to save his own people.Kok, Philippe J. R., et al. “A New Species of Colostethus (Anura: Dendrobatidae) with Maternal Care from Kaieteur National Park, Guyana.” Zootaxa, vol. 1238, no. 1, 2006, p. 35., https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.1238.1.3.
