''Elachistocleis'' is a genus of Microhylidae, microhylid frogs found in southern America from Panama southwards. Their common name is oval frogs, although for historic reasons not all species are named so. [web application]. 2013. Berkeley, California''Elachistocleis'' AmphibiaWeb, available at http://amphibiaweb.org/. (Accessed: 29 November 2013). Taxonomy A 2021 study found that the genus originated in the Andes during the Oligocene, and contains two distinct Clade, clades that diverged from one another during the Middle Miocene. They dispersed throughout South America following the drying-out of the Pebas Formation, Pebas mega-wetland system, aided by the Amazon basin and other hydrological systems. Recent taxonomic evidence indicates that the type species, ''Elachistocleis ovalis, E. ovalis'', is a ''nomen nudum'', as it has no holotype, Type (biology), type locality, and its description lacks detail. The name has been applied to many ''Elachistocleis'' populations across ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
