Atelognathus Patagonicus
''Atelognathus patagonicus'' is a species of frog in the family Batrachylidae. It is endemic to the volcanic tablelands of Neuquén Province, western Argentina. Its common name is Patagonia frog. Its natural habitats are permanent lagoons surrounded by steppe and/or semidesert. They are mostly aquatic but can also be found in the vegetation surrounding the lagoons. Breeding takes place in water. The population in the Laguna Blanca (in the Laguna Blanca National Park), which used to be the main subpopulation, has been extirpated by introduced by fish (perch and salmonids). However, other subpopulations, located within the buffer zone of the Laguna Blanca National Park, occur in isolated ponds and mostly appear to be stable. However, eutrophication is a problem in some ponds, and introductions of predatory Predation is a biological interaction where one organism, the predator, kills and eats another organism, its prey. It is one of a family of common feeding behaviours tha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chaltenobatrachus Grandisonae
''Chaltenobatrachus'' is a monotypic genus of frogs in the family Batrachylidae. The sole species, ''Chaltenobatrachus grandisonae'', used to be included ''Atelognathus'', which is considered the sister taxon of ''Chaltenobatrachus''. ''C. grandisonae'' (common name: Puerto Eden frog) is endemic to Patagonia, including both Chile and Argentina. It inhabits rainforest and wetlands of the southern fjordlands and Andes in Patagonia. It is known from just few localities: its type locality, Puerto Eden, Wellington Island, Chile, and two mainland sites in Argentina. Description Small to medium-sized frogs, ''C. grandisonae'' adults reach a snout–vent length of about , with typical frog-like appearance and body proportions. Back of the body and limbs are rather uniformly bright green with brown to reddish warts. Tadpoles are up to in total length. Reproduction Females of this species lay their eggs in clusters attached to branches or stones under the water in still water, mostly t ...

Batrachylidae
Batrachylidae is a family of frogs from southern South America (Argentina and Chile).

ITIS was originally formed in 1996 as an interagenc ... (ITIS).

Monotypic Taxon
In biology, a monotypic taxon is a taxonomic group (taxon) that contains only one immediately subordinate taxon. A monotypic species is one that does not include subspecies or smaller, infraspecific taxa. In the case of genera, the term "unispecific" or "monospecific" is sometimes preferred. In botanical nomenclature, a monotypic genus is a genus in the special case where a genus and a single species are simultaneously described. In contrast, an oligotypic taxon contains more than one but only a very few subordinate taxa. Examples Just as the term ''monotypic'' is used to describe a taxon including only one subdivision, the contained taxon can also be referred to as monotypic within the higher-level taxon, e.g. a genus monotypic within a family. Some examples of monotypic groups are: Plants * In the order Amborellales, there is only one family, Amborellaceae and there is only one genus, '' Amborella'', and in this genus there is only one species, namely ''Amborella trichopoda ...
