Hyloxalus
''Hyloxalus'' is a genus of poison dart frogs, family Dendrobatidae. The genus is distributed in Central and South America, from Panama south to Peru (along the Pacific coast), along with Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador. They also inhabit the eastern foothills of the Andes in Bolivia to Venezuela, east to the upper Amazon Basin. Description ''Hyloxalus'' are small to moderate-size frogs, ranging from about in snout–vent length. Most species have cryptic, brown, gray, or black dorsal coloration, but some have conspicuous, bright colors (e.g., ''Hyloxalus azureiventris''). A pale oblique lateral stripe is always present. Toe webbing is absent in most species but is present in some species and can even be extensive. Fingers bear narrow to moderately expanded discs. Reproduction Most species deposits their eggs in terrestrial nests and transport the tadpoles to pools on the forest floor or in backwaters of streams.

Hyloxalus Bocagei
''Hyloxalus bocagei'' is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is found on the northeastern side of the Andes in Ecuador ( Sucumbíos, Orellana, and Napo Provinces) and in Colombia ( Cordillera Oriental in the Caquetá Department). The specific name ''bocagei'' honors José Vicente Barbosa du Bocage, a Portuguese zoologist. Common name Bocage's rocket frog has been coined for this species. Taxonomy ''Hyloxalus bocagei'' belongs to a group of species that are difficult to identify, and the taxonomic history of the group is complex. '' Hyloxalus maculosus'' has been considered a junior synonym of ''Hyloxalus bocagei'', but is now recognized as a species. '' Hyloxalus italoi'' and '' Hyloxalus yasuni'' were described as new species in 2010. Description Males measure and females in snout–vent length. Dorsum is olive-brown with dark brown dorsal blotches and flanks with a dark brown stripe. There are oblique lateral stripes extending from anterior corner of the eye ...

Hyloxalus Azureiventris
The sky-blue poison frog (''Hyloxalus azureiventris'') is a species of poison dart frog. It is endemic to Peru and known from the lower eastern versant of the Andes in the upper Amazon basin of the San Martín Region. Habitat and ecology The species habitat is primarily lowland tropical rainforests as well as inland wetlands of Peru. Little is known about the species' adaptability to modified habitats. The sky-blue poison frog lays its eggs under leaf litter found in its habitat. The larvae are then transported to small streams to hatch. Taxonomy The species has been placed in numerous genera, including the new genus ''Cryptophyllobates'' erected for it. However, it is now placed in ''Hyloxalus''; although ''Hyloxalus azureiventris'' represents a distinct clade within ''Hyloxalus'', recognizing it formally would render the rest of ''Hyloxalus'' paraphyletic. Description Its main distinguishing feature is dorsolateral stripes that run down the back and end on the posterior. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hyloxalus Cevallosi
''Hyloxalus cevallosi'', also known as Palanda rocket frog, is a species of poison dart frogs in the family Dendrobatidae. It is named after Gabriel Cevallos García, a famous Ecuadorean writer. This species of frog exists on the east side of the Andes in Ecuador near the Pastaza Province as well as the Zamora-Chinchipe Province. Though it has been recorded in Peru, the records have yet to be confirmed. Its natural habitats are very humid premontane and pluvial premontane forests. Description ''Hyloxalus cevallosi'' is a small ground-dwelling species of frog that is easily overlooked. It is characterized by slanting lateral, ventrolateral, and relatively incomplete dorsolateral stripes, a large tympanum, almost non-fringed toes with no webbing, and a broad abdomen. One male measured and two females in snout–vent length. (''Hyloxalus cevallosi'': p. 24–25) Distribution ''Hyloxalus cevallosi'' is native to Ecuador where it is present on the eastern side of the Andes at seve ...

Hyloxalus Elachyhistus
''Hyloxalus elachyhistus'' is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is found in southern Ecuador (both versants of the Andes) and northern Peru, in the Huancabamba Depression and south to Cajabamba Province. Description ''Hyloxalus elachyhistus'' shows considerable intraspecies variability, and it might represent more than one species. Ecuadorian males measure and females in snout–vent length. Peruvian specimens are smaller: males measure and females SVL. Dorsum varies in colour between populations, from pale olive to brown. There is a pale yellow to tan oblique lateral stripe, usually narrowly bordered by dark brown or black. Males may protect the egg clutch. Both males and females may transport the tadpoles. Back-riding tadpoles vary in size, from about in total length. Largest free-swimming tadpoles are in total length. Habitat and conservation Its natural habitats are dry and humid lowland and premontane forests. It occurs near streams, especially in dry ...

Hyloxalus Chocoensis
''Hyloxalus chocoensis'', sometimes known as the Choco rocket frog, is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is found in western Colombia to east-central Panama (where it is the only member of this genus). In Colombia it is known from Chocó, Valle del Cauca, and Antioquia. '' Anomaloglossus confusus'' from northwestern Ecuador were formerly confused with this species, but the identity of many other populations remains uncertain. Taxonomic uncertainty hampers knowledge about the species. Description ''Hyloxalus chocoensis'' measure up to in snout–vent length. Dorsum is gray in preservative. A light dorsolateral line extends from the eye along the upper side of the body to the rear, where it nearly meet the line from the other side. Thighs are lightly barred. The lip line is white. Habitat and conservation Its natural habitats are lowland humid tropical forests. It is an extremely rare species threatened by habitat loss. The Panamanian population is within the C ...

Hyloxalus Chlorocraspedus
''Hyloxalus chlorocraspedus'' is a species of frogs in the family Dendrobatidae. It is only known from two locations: its type locality near Porto Walter, Acre state in Brazil, and another locality in the Ucayali Region of Peru. Its natural habitats are primary lowland forests. It is threatened by 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 displaced or dead, thereby ...: the area of the type locality has been converted into cattle pasture.

Hyloxalus Awa
''Hyloxalus awa'' is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to Ecuador and known from the western Andean slopes and the western Pacific lowlands. Description Males measure and females in snout–vent length. Dorsum is reddish brown with diffuse dark marks. Flanks are dark gray. Reproduction The male call is a trill of about 3–5 seconds in duration, emitted at a rate of six calls per minute. Males are territorial and aggressive towards other males. Under laboratory conditions, mating takes place in morning and clutch size is 4 to 21 eggs. Eggs are laid on leaf-litter or low vegetation; the adults carry the tadpoles on their back to nearby streams where they complete their development. Habitat and conservation Natural habitats of ''Hyloxalus awa'' are humid sub-montane tropical forest. It is threatened by habitat loss due to agriculture (both crops and livestock), logging, and agricultural pollution. References {{Taxonbar, from=Q1342908 awa Awa (or ...

Hyloxalus Exasperatus
''Hyloxalus exasperatus'' is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to Ecuador and found on the eastern slopes of the Andes in Pastaza and Morona-Santiago Provinces. However, it is suggested that specimens from Pastaza represent a different, possibly undescribed species. Description Males measure and females in snout–vent length (based on only six and two specimens, respectively). Toe webbing is absent but it has a dorsolateral stripe and a short oblique lateral stripe. It is similar to '' Hyloxalus whymperi'' but lacks heavy darkening on the abdomen of males. Male call is unknown. Habitat and conservation Its natural habitats are pluvial premontane and very humid premontane forests. Its altitudinal range is asl.
