Eupsophus
''Eupsophus'' is a genus of frogs in the family Alsodidae. They are sometimes known as ground frogs. The genus is endemic to Patagonia (Chile and Argentina). ''Eupsophus'' is the second most species-rich frog genera of Patagonia. These frogs are restricted to forested areas at southern latitudes. Reproduction In most species, 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 are endotrophic (developing without external food sources) and develop in water housed in small hollows in the forest floor or holes at the end of flooded tunnels. Males call from inside burrows and may engage in duets with their nearest neighbours. They also show parental care: males remain by the clutch, and later on also by the tadpoles, in small aquatic microhabitats in the ground; this beha ...

Eupsophus Calcaratus
''Eupsophus calcaratus'' (common name: Chiloe Island ground frog) is a species of frog in the family Alsodidae The Alsodidae are a small family of frogs from South America between Patagonia and southern Brazil. It contains 30 species in three genera. This family, along with several other families, used to be included in the family Leptodactylidae. It was .... It is endemic to Patagonia (southern Argentina and Chile). It has one of the broadest distributions of any Chilean frog. Description ''Eupsophus calcaratus'' are moderate-sized frogs measuring in snout–vent length. Head is wider than long and snout is rounded. Skin is only slightly granulated but has many spots and reticulated pattern. The colouration is highly variable, but it usually has a characteristic, hourglass-shaped pattern in its head. The tadpoles develop in water-filled cavities on the ground. Males show parental care: they remain with the eggs and tadpoles. Tadpoles are endotrophic. Habitat and con ...

Eupsophus Emiliopugini
''Eupsophus emiliopugini'' is a species of frog in the family Alsodidae. It is found in the temperate '' Nothofagus'' forests of Chile between 40°50'S and 45°20'S, and in the Lago Puelo National Park, Chubut Province, Argentina. The specific name ''emiliopugini'' honors Professor Emilio Pugín, for "his contribution to knowledge of the reproductive biology and development of the Chilean frogs". Common name Emilio's ground frog has been coined for the species. Description Adult males measure and females in snout–vent length. Newly metamorphosed froglets measure . The head is wider than it is long. The tympanum is distinct, and there is a well-developed supra-tympanic fold. The limbs are slender. Webbing is absent. Skin is smooth. The dorsal ground color is grayish brown to leaden. There is a lemon-yellow vertebral line and an olive-green band between the eyes. Sometimes there are bright yellowish reticulations on the thighs.

Alsodidae
The Alsodidae are a small family of frogs from South America between Patagonia and southern Brazil. It contains 30 species in three genera. This family, along with several other families, used to be included in the family Leptodactylidae. It was then a subfamily in the family Cycloramphidae, before being recognized as a family first in 2011. Genera The family contains three genera: *'' Alsodes'' Bell, 1843 (19 species) *'' Eupsophus'' Fitzinger, 1843 (10 species) *'' Limnomedusa'' Fitzinger, 1843 (1 species) However, the placement of ''Limnomedusa'' is highly uncertain, and it might belong to the family Cycloramphidae. In contrast, '' Alsodes''+'' Eupsophus'' group (''sensu stricto'', after moving some species formerly included in the latter genus to other genera) forms a well-supported, monophyletic group. These genera are Patagonian endemics and represent the largest part of the amphibian diversity in that area. ''Eupsophus'' species are restricted to forested areas at southern ...
