Vitreorana Ritae
''Vitreorana ritae'' is a species of frog in the glass frog family (Centrolenidae). It is found in Amazonian Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, and in southern Guyana, eastern Suriname, and French Guiana. Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forests and rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss. Formerly, this species was considered to be distinct from ''Vitreorana oyampiensis'', but now the two populations are considered as conspecific. Description ''Vitreorana ritae'' is a tiny glass frog that lacks humeral spines in males and has a lobed liver. Adult males measure from the snout to the vent, while the females are a bit larger at about snout-vent length. Its snout tip is neatly rounded. The translucent eardrum is visible but not large, measuring about one-fourth to one-third of the eye's diameter; the tympanic annulus is not hidden except for the dorsal margin which is covered by the supratympanic fold.Guayasamin ''et al.''

The flanks are transparent, as is the posterior part of the ventrum; the anterior part is white. The iris is greenish-gray. Habitat and conservation ''Vitreorana castroviejoi'' inhabits cloud forests at elevations of above sea level. It is found in vegetation next ...

Vitreorana Helenae
''Vitreorana helenae'' is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. Two common names are sometimes used to refer to this species: Venezuelan glass frog and Helena's glass frog. In Spanish, it is locally known as ranita de cristal de Helena. ''Vitreorana helenae'' is found in Bolívar state in eastern Venezuela, and in the vicinity of Kaieteur National Park, Guyana Guyana ( or ), officially the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, is a country on the northern mainland of South America. Guyana is an indigenous word which means "Land of Many Waters". The capital city is Georgetown. Guyana is bordered by the ....

Vitreorana Antisthenesi
''Vitreorana antisthenesi'' is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. It is endemic to northern Venezuela and is known from the Venezuelan Coastal Range. Common name Aragua glass frog has been coined for it. The systematic position of this species has changed many times. It was originally described under the genus ''Centrolenella'' (a genus now synonym of ''Centrolene'') in 1963. It was later changed to the genus '' Hyalinobatrachium'' in 1991 and to '' Cochranella'' in 2006, before ending up in its current placement in the genus ''Vitreorana''. This species occurs in cloud forests and gallery forests at elevations between above sea level Height above mean sea level is a measure of the vertical distance (height, elevation or altitude) of a location in reference to a historic mean sea level taken as a vertical datum.

Vitreorana Uranoscopa
''Vitreorana uranoscopa'' is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. It is found in southeastern and southern Brazil, from Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo southward to northern Rio Grande do Sul, and in northeastern Argentina; it is also likely to be found in adjacent Paraguay. Common name Humboldt's grass frog has been proposed for it. It occurs in primary and secondary forest at elevations below above sea level. It is typically found in the immediate vicinity of running water, usually clinging close to leaves of herbaceous vegetation and trees. The eggs are deposited on leaves above water, to which the tadpoles drop upon hatching. It can be a locally common species. It is not threatened as a species, but probable threats to it relate to 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. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [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] |
