Anomaloglossus
''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. Mo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

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 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. It is endemic to Guyana where it is known from the Kaieteur National Park and the Pacaraima Mountains. However, as it is found along the Guyana–Brazil border, it is also possibly present in Brazil. This frog shows maternal care: female frogs can provide tadpoles with trophic eggs. Description ''A. kaiei'' displays cryptic coloration. Their dorsal ground color is medium brown, with a wide black band running laterally from its snout tip around the body and a ...

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] |
