Melanophryniscus Peritus
''Melanophryniscus peritus'' is a species of frog in the family Bufonidae. It is only known from a single specimen collected in 1953, and may be extinct. Taxonomy ''Melanophryniscus peritus'' was described in 2011 by Ulisses Caramaschi and Carlos Alberto Gonçalves da Cruz. Originally, it was placed in the '' Melanophryniscus tumifrons'' group. The specific name, ''peritus'', is from the Latin verb ''pereo'', meaning to vanish or disappear. It was given to reflect the species' status.

It also had a wide head, dark brown coloration on its dorsal side, and a lighter brown underside. Habitat and distribution The species is only known from its type locality, in the Mantiqueira mountain range of southeastern Brazil at about above sea level. This is further north than the majority of members in the ''Melanophryniscus tumifrons'' group. Based on the activitie ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Melanophryniscus Pachyrhynus
''Melanophryniscus pachyrhynus'' is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is known from São Lourenço do Sul in southern Brazil and from Uruguay. Populations in Uruguay were until recently considered a different species (''Melanophryniscus orejasmirandai'') and assessed as being vulnerable. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland, intermittent freshwater lakes, and intermittent freshwater marshes. 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 ....

Melanophryniscus Macrogranulosus
''Melanophryniscus macrogranulosus'' is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is endemic to northeastern Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil. It was for a long time only known from the type series collected in 1960 (the precise location of which was unknown), until another population was discovered in 2004. This was followed by the rediscovery of population at the type locality as well as few other populations, all in Rio Grande do Sul. Its common name is Torres redbelly toad, after the type locality. Description ''Melanophryniscus macrogranulosus'' grow to at least snout–vent length. Individuals larger than about SVL are considered adults. Colouration changes through development. Dorsum in newly metamorphosed juveniles is dark gray. The ventral surface is pale, partially translucent. Palmar and plantar surfaces are also pale.
