Arthroleptis Kidogo
''Arthroleptis'' is a genus of frogs in the family Arthroleptidae found in tropical sub-Saharan Africa. Their common names include screeching frogs, sometimes simply squeakers. Description These species are terrestrial breeding, with direct development (metamorphosis to froglets occurs within the egg). Many species in this genus are small, or very small, frogs with a minimum adult size of snout-vent length. The largest species (''Arthroleptis nikeae ''Arthroleptis nikeae'', also known as Nike's squeaker, is a species of frogs in the family Arthroleptidae.

Arthroleptis Wahlbergii
The bush squeaker (''Arthroleptis wahlbergii'') is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is found along the coastal areas of eastern South Africa and possibly Mozambique. Habitat Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, plantations, rural gardens, urban areas, and heavily degraded former forest, where it is found mostly in leaf-litter and rotting vegetation. Biology and habits The eggs are laid in damp leaf-litter where the young hatch as miniature frogs. The call is a high-pitched squeak, usually emitted during wet weather, which is often mistaken for the calls of crickets. 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.

Arthroleptis Loveridgei
''Arthroleptis loveridgei'' is a species of frogs in the family Arthroleptidae. It is endemic to Democratic Republic of the Congo and only known from its type locality, "Arebi (Uelé)", Ituri Province, in the northeastern part of the country. The specific name ''loveridgei'' honours Arthur Loveridge, an American herpetologist. Common names Loveridge's screeching frog and Loveridge's squeaking frog have been coined for it. Taxonomy ''Arthroleptis loveridgei'' was described in 1933 by Gaston-François de Witte based on two specimens collected in 1925. In 1954, Raymond Laurent placed it in the genus ''Schoutedenella'' de Witte, 1921, but the genus has not been recognized in later research. The identity of this taxon needs clarification. Habitat and conservation Ecology and conservation status of this species are unknown, and the IUCN SSC Amphibian Specialist Group considers it as "data deficient A data deficient (DD) species is one which has been categorized by the Internati ...
