Phyllomedusinae
Phyllomedusinae is a subfamily of hylid tree frogs found in the Neotropics commonly called leaf frogs. Formerly, they were often considered as their own family, Phyllomedusidae. The subfamily is considered to be the sister group to the Australian treefrogs (Pelodryadinae), a subfamily of frogs known from Australia and New Guinea, despite being very geographically separated from them. The common ancestor of both subfamilies is thought to have lived in early Cenozoic South America, where the Phyllomedusinae still live, with the two families diverging from one another during the Eocene. The ancestors of Pelodryadinae likely colonized Australasia from South America via Antarctica, which at the time was not yet frozen over. The clade comprising both subfamilies is sister to the Hylinae, from which they diverged in the early Paleogene. Taxonomy The subfamily Phyllomedusidae contains the following genera: * ''Agalychnis'' (14 species) * ''Callimedusa'' (six species) * ''Cruziohyla' ...

Hylidae
Hylidae is a wide-ranging family of frogs commonly referred to as "tree frogs and their allies". However, the hylids include a diversity of frog species, many of which do not live in trees, but are terrestrial or semiaquatic. Taxonomy and systematics The earliest known fossils that can be assigned to this family are from the Cretaceous of India and the state of Wyoming in the United States. The common name of "tree frog" is a popular name for several species of the family Hylidae. However, the name "treefrog" is not unique to this family, also being used for many species in the family Rhacophoridae. The following genera are recognised in the family Hylidae: * Subfamily Hylinae ** Tribe Cophomantini *** '' Aplastodiscus'' – canebrake treefrogs *** ''Boana'' – gladiator treefrogs *** ''Bokermannohyla'' *** ''Hyloscirtus'' *** ''Myersiohyla'' *** ''Nesorohyla'' *** '' "Hyla" nicefori'' ** Tribe Dendropsophini ***''Dendropsophus'' *** '' Julianus'' *** ''Lysapsus'' †...

Cruziohyla
''Cruziohyla'' is a genus of frogs in the subfamily Phyllomedusinae. They occur from Nicaragua and Honduras in Central America south to the Amazon Basin in South America. This genus was erected in 2005 following a major revision of the Hylidae and fully reviewed in 2018. Species in this genus were previously placed in the genera ''Agalychnis'' or ''Phyllomedusa''. These frogs are characterized by extensive hand and foot webbing. Their eye has a bicoloured iris. Tadpoles develop in water-filled depressions on fallen trees. The name ''Cruziohyla'' honors Brazilian herpetologist Carlos Alberto Gonçalves da Cruz. Species There are three ''Cruziohyla'' species: * ''Cruziohyla calcarifer'' (Boulenger, 1902) — splendid leaf frog * ''Cruziohyla craspedopus'' (Funkhouser, 1957) — fringe tree frog * ''Cruziohyla sylviae ''Cruziohyla sylviae'', also known as Sylvia's tree frog, is a large colourful species of tree frog from Central America.

Burmeister's Leaf Frog
''Phyllomedusa burmeisteri'', also known as Burmeister's leaf frog and common walking leaf frog, is a species of frog native to the Atlantic Forest biome in Brazil. Description Sizes Individuals show sexual dimorphism in size. Males have a mean body length (snout vent length) of (63.4 ± 4.5 mm), and females have a mean body length of (76.7 ± 3.2 mm) Calls Males use calls to communicate their location to others. They also act as warning signals to potential opponents. ''P. burmeisteri'' males communicate through acoustical calls, which are either short or long calls. Short calls last from 330 to 450 ms, whereas long calls last from 560 to 600 ms. The calls are usually projected in arrangements of 2 to 5 at a time and are regularly spaced. BUR-RJ males, however, do not produce long calls. Males also use calls to attract and find females to mate with. The sound that they emit changes based on which of these behaviors they are trying to accomplish. However, the call tha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pithecopus
''Pithecopus'' is a genus of frogs in the subfamily Phyllomedusinae. Species of the genus ''Pithecopus'' are found in tropical South America east of the Andes, from southern Venezuela to northern Argentina. Resurrected from the synonymy of ''Phyllomedusa'' in 2016, it corresponds to the former '' Phyllomedusa hypochondrialis'' group. Its sister group is ''Callimedusa''. Etymology The name of this genus is derived from the Greek ''pithekodes'', which means "ape-like". Description ''Pithecopus'' are medium-sized frogs measuring about in snout–vent length. Toe I is much longer than toe II, and is opposable to it. No vomerine teeth are present. The tadpole A tadpole is the larval stage in the biological life cycle of an amphibian. Most tadpoles are fully aquatic, though some species of amphibians have tadpoles that are terrestrial. Tadpoles have some fish-like features that may not be found i ...s have a moderately small oral disc that is anteroventrally directed. Specie ...

Pelodryadinae
Pelodryadinae, also known as Australian treefrogs (although not all members are arboreal), is a subfamily of frogs found in the region of Australia and New Guinea, and have also been introduced to New Caledonia, Guam, New Zealand, and Vanuatu. The subfamily is thought to be the sister group to the leaf frogs (Phyllomedusinae), a subfamily of arboreal frogs known from the Neotropics. The common ancestor of both subfamilies is thought to have lived in early Cenozoic South America, with the two subfamilies diverging from one another during the Eocene. The ancestors of the subfamily Pelodryadinae likely invaded Australasia via Antarctica, which at the time was not yet frozen over, thus was hospitable for the dispersing frogs. The clade comprising both subfamilies is sister to the Hylinae, from which they diverged in the early Paleogene. Classification The subfamily contains 222 species in three genera: * ''Litoria'' (102 species) * ''Nyctimystes'' (44 species) * ''Ranoidea'' (71 sp ...
