Sphaenorhynchus
''Sphaenorhynchus'' is a genus of frogs in the family Hylidae. They are also known as lime treefrogs or hatchet-faced treefrogs. They are found in the Amazon and Orinoco River basins of South America, the Guianas, Trinidad, and southern and eastern Brazil. The majority of the species are associated with the Atlantic Forest domain in Brazil. Systematics ''Sphaenorhynchus'' has been suggested to be the sister taxon of the clade ''Scarthyla'' + ''Scinax''. Faivovich and colleagues (2005) placed it in the tribe Dendropsophini, together with ''Dendropsophus'', ''Lysapsus'', ''Pseudis'', ''Scarthyla'', ''Scinax'', and ''Xenohyla''. Description ''Sphaenorhynchus'' are small to moderately sized frogs. They are bright green or yellowish green in life. The snout is pointed and projecting in lateral view. Most species have well-developed horizontal dermal flaps on each side of the anus. The fingers are weakly webbed while the toes are extensively webbed. Males have a vocal sac The vo ...

Sphaenorhynchus Lacteus
''Sphaenorhynchus lacteus'', the Orinoco lime treefrog or greater hatchet-faced treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is a widely distributed species found in the Orinoco and Amazon basins in Venezuela, the Guianas ( Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana), Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. It also occurs in Trinidad and Tobago. Description Adult males measure and females in snout–vent length. The snout is pointed in dorsal view and angles sharply back when viewed laterally. The tympanum is visible. The fingers are one-half to two-thirds webbed whereas the toes are fully webbed. The dorsum is bright green with dark brown canthal stripe. The venter and outer margins of the limbs are white whereas the ventral surfaces of the limbs are bluish green. The iris is pale creamy bronze. Habitat and conservation ''Sphaenorhynchus lacteus'' is a semi-aquatic frog found in flooded plains, floating meadows, ponds, and large lagoons in forest clearings, at f ...

Sphaenorhynchus Platycephalus
''Sphaenorhynchus platycephalus'', commonly known as the South American lime treefrog or Lutz's lime treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to south-eastern Brazil where it occurs in the Serra do Mar and Serra da Mantiqueira ranges in the states of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Minas Gerais. However, Araujo-Vieira and colleagues suggests that the Serra da Mantiqueira population could represent '' Sphaenorhynchus canga''; the two species are similar. Systematics This species was originally described by Franz Werner in 1894 based on a specimen with no other collection information than its origin, "S. Amerika". In 1981 designated a neotype for the species, erroneously believing that the holotype (the only known specimen, in the collections of the Institut für Zoologie der Universität Wien) was lost. However, the neotype specimen was not a hylid but a centrolenid, later described as a distinct species, ''Centrolenella savagei'' (now synonym of ...

Sphaenorhynchus Pauloalvini
''Sphaenorhynchus pauloalvini'', or Paulo's lime treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to eastern Brazil and is known from two locations in Bahia, Itabuna (its type locality) and Una. Habitat and conservation ''Sphaenorhynchus pauloalvini'' lives near on in ponds. 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 .... It has not been recorded in the area of its type locality after its original description in 1973. However, another population was discovered in Una in 2007.

''Sphaenorhynchus dorisae'', the Doris' lime treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is found in the upper Amazon Basin of southeastern Colombia ( Amazonas Department), Ecuador, Brazil and Peru. It might also be present in Bolivia. Etymology The specific name ''dorisae'' honors Doris Mable Cochran, an American herpetologist. Description Adult males measure and females in snout–vent length. The snout is rounded in dorsal view. The tympanum is small and indistinct. The fingers are one-third webbed whereas the toes are fully webbed. The dorsum is bright green with small dark spots or lavender green with small spots that are white to yellow. The venter is white. The iris is bronze.

They are commonly found amidst floating vegetation, in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sphaenorhynchus Palustris
''Sphaenorhynchus palustris'', the Linhares lime treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to eastern Brazil and known from its type locality, Linhares in Espírito Santo, and from Bahia north to Praia do Forte. ''Sphaenorhynchus palustris'' is a very aquatic frog that is almost always found in small temporary and permanent pools or ponds at the borders of forests close to sea level. Breeding takes place in temporary and permanent pools.

Sphaenorhynchus Bromelicola
''Sphaenorhynchus bromelicola'', the Bahia lime treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to eastern Brazil and only known from its type locality near Maracás, Bahia. It is similar to '' Sphaenorhynchus orophilus''. It lives in terrestrial bromeliads on the forest edge and in open areas. The tadpoles develop in permanent pools. It is abundant at the type locality. Potential threats to this species include 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 ... caused by agriculture, wood plantations, logging, collection of bromeliads and human settlement, though data is insufficient to grant it conservation status.

Sphaenorhynchus Mirim
''Sphaenorhynchus mirim'' is a frog. Scientists have seen it in one place: Fazenda Gemada in Brazil. The adult male frog measures 15.7–18.2 mm in snout-vent length. The frog's head is wider than it is long. The skin of the dorsum is bright green in color with white spots. Parts of the toes are yellow in color. The ventrum and vocal sac are whitish green. Some reports indicate that this frog may undergo early sexual maturation. Scientists note that the tadpoles develop reproductive organs before undergoing metamorphosis. Scientists think this is so they can reproduce soon after becoming frogs. The authors of the original description note that the rest of the tadpoles' bodies develop at the normal rate, making it unlikely that the development observed in their study was due to exposure to pharmaceutical pollutants. This frog is sympatric to '' Dendropsophus elegans'', '' Dendropsophus minutus'', and ''Scinax alter ''Scinax alter'', the Crubixa snouted treefrog, i ...

Sphaenorhynchus Carneus
''Sphaenorhynchus carneus'', the Napo lime treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is found in the upper Amazon Basin in southern Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and in central Amazonia in Brazil. It might also occur in Bolivia. ''Sphaenorhynchus carneus'' is a semi-aquatic species found in permanent and semi permanent ponds in open areas, in ponds in primary forest, and on floating mats of vegetation in large rivers. It is reasonably common species which might locally suffer from 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 .... It is present in many protected areas.
