Centrolene
''Centrolene'' is a genus of glass frogs in the family (biology), family Centrolenidae. The adult males are characterized by having a humeral spine, as most members of this family. The delimitation of this genus versus ''Cochranella'' is not fully resolved, and some species formerly in ''Centrolenella'' — which is nowadays synonym (biology), synonymized with ''Centrolene'' — are now in ''Hyalinobatrachium''. The genus is known as "giant glass frogs". But this is merely relative to the rest of their family, which contains numerous extremely diminutive species. Species The following species are recognised in the genus ''Centrolene'': References [Baidu] |

Glass Frog
The glass frogs belong to the amphibian family Centrolenidae ( order Anura). While the general background coloration of most glass frogs is primarily lime green, the abdominal skin of some members of this family is transparent and translucent, giving the glass frog its common name. The internal viscera, including the heart, liver, and gastrointestinal tract, are visible through the skin. When active their blood makes them visible; when sleeping most of the blood is concealed in the liver, hiding them. Glass frogs are arboreal, living mainly in trees, and only come out for mating season. Their transparency conceals them very effectively when sleeping on a green leaf, as they habitually do. Taxonomy The first described species of Centrolenidae was the "giant" '' Centrolene geckoideum'', named by Marcos Jiménez de la Espada in 1872, based on a specimen collected in northeastern Ecuador. Several species were described in subsequent years by different herpetologists (including G. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Centrolene Lynchi
''Centrolene lynchi'', also known as Lynch's giant glass frog, Lynch's glassfrog, and the Tandayapa giant glass frog, is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae.

Centrolene Heloderma
''Centrolene heloderma'' is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae from the Andes in Colombia and Ecuador. It is also known as Pichincha giant glass frog or bumpy glassfrog. Distribution In Colombia it has been recorded from the western slopes of the Cordillera Occidental, in the Cauca, Risaralda, and Valle del Cauca Departments. In Ecuador it has been recorded from the western Andes in the Pichincha and Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas Provinces.

Centrolene Ballux
''Centrolene ballux'' is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. It is known from a few disjunct localities on the Pacific versant of the Cordillera Occidental in southern Colombia ( Nariño Department) and northern Ecuador ( Pichincha and Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas Provinces). Common names golden-flecked glassfrog and Burrowes' giant glass frog have been coined for it.
