Hypodactylus
''Niceforonia'' is a genus of frogs in the family Strabomantidae found in northern South America (from central Peru to Ecuador and Colombia). The name refers to Nicéforo María, Colombian herpetologist. Taxonomy the genus ''Niceforonia'' was resurrected from the synonymy of '' Phrynopus'' by Hedges and colleagues in 2008. No genetic data exist, and Hedges ''et al.'' placed it provisionally in the subfamily Strabomantinae along with the genera ''Phrynopus'', ''Oreobates'', and '' Lynchius'' with which it shares a synapomorphy. Based on genetic data from these three genera, Padial and colleagues moved them all into the subfamily Holoadeninae in 2014. Species The following species are recognised in the genus ''Niceforonia'': * ''Niceforonia adenobrachia'' (Ardila-Robayo, Ruiz-Carranza, and Barrera-Rodriguez, 1996) * ''Niceforonia aderca'' (Lynch, 2003) * ''Niceforonia araiodactyla'' (Duellman and Pramuk, 1999) * ''Niceforonia babax'' (Lynch, 1989) * ''Niceforonia brunnea'' (Lync ...

Niceforonia Latens
''Hypodactylus latens'' is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to the Cordillera Central of Colombia, and is known from the Antioquia, Caldas, Quindío, and Tolima Departments. Its natural habitats are sub-páramos and páramos at elevations of 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. In geodesy, it is formalized as ''orthometric heights''. The comb .... It occurs on fallen leaves and grass roots. It is a rare species, although its cryptic habits might contribute to this impression. It is threatened by habitat loss (deforestation).

Niceforonia Dolops
''Niceforonia dolops'' is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is found in the Andes of southern Colombia and northern Ecuador. Specifically, it is known from the Cordillera Oriental and Colombian Massif in Caquetá and Putumayo Departments, Colombia, and Napo Province, Ecuador. Common name Putumayo robber frog has been coined for it. Description Adult males measure and adult females in snout–vent length. The head is as broad as the body and wider than it is long. The snout is short and subacuminate in dorsal view and rounded in lateral profile. The tympanum is prominent and rounded in males but vertically elongated in females. Skin of the dorsum is pustulate and has short ridges along upper flanks; the flanks are areolate. The fingers have no lateral fringes but are feebly keeled laterally. The fingers bear weakly dilated pads with discs. The toes have no lateral fringes but are weakly keeled and bear pads with discs. No webbing is present. The dorsal colora ...
