Teratohyla
''Teratohyla'' is a small genus of glassfrogs in the subfamily Centroleninae. The genus was for a while included in '' Centrolenella'' and then '' Cochranella'', but it was resurrected in 2009. These frogs are distributed from lowlands of Central America from Honduras southwards to Pacific and Amazonian wet tropical lowlands of South America.

Teratohyla Midas
''Teratohyla midas'' (common name: Santa Cecilia Cochran frog) is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae, which are also known as glass frogs. The specie Teratohyla Midas was first recorded in 1973 by Lynch, J. D., & Duellman, W. E. This Amazonian species appears to be semi-transparent with gold flecks on its back. Though many species of the glass frog, Centrolendidae, are similar in terms of diet and habitats, they vary greatly among limbs and other physiologies. Because of the similarities between ''T. midas'' and other glass frogs, Centrolendidae, researchers often group ''T. midas'' together with other species within the same family. Characteristics ''T. midas'' is arboreal, meaning that they mainly live in trees. Through their semi-opaque skins, one can see the green bones and if the specimen is female, the humerus spine. Their snout has a truncated shape from the dorsal view leading to an angled appearance around the lateral nostril region. Adult snout-vent length i ...

Teratohyla Spinosa
''Teratohyla spinosa'' (common name: spiny Cochran frog) is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. It is found in the Pacific lowlands of northern and central Ecuador and western Colombia, northward on the Pacific slopes Panama and Costa Rica, as well as on the Caribbean slopes of Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Honduras. Description ''Teratohyla spinosa'' are small, green frogs with large, protuberant eyes. Males grow to a snout–vent length of and females to . Tadpoles are in length when metamorphosing. Adult males have an exposed spine at the base of the thumb. Males call throughout the wet season (May–October) from the low vegetation surrounding small streams. Females lay 18–25 eggs on the underside of vegetation in a single layer of loose jelly. Larvae develop in streams. Habitat and conservation ''Teratohyla spinosa'' inhabits lowland primary humid lowland forests at elevations between above sea level Height above mean sea level is a measure of the vertical ...

Teratohyla Adenocheira
''Teratohyla adenocheira'' is a species of frogs in the family Centrolenidae. It is known from the Noel Kempff Mercado National Park, its type locality in eastern Bolivia, as well as more widely from Brazil, in the states of Mato Grosso, Pará, and Rondônia. The species' closest relative is T. Midas. Description Adult males in the type series (three specimens) measure in snout–vent length (SVL). An unsexed specimen from Rondônia measured SVL. The head wider than the body. The snout is short and round in dorsal view, but truncate in profile. The eyes are large. The tympanum is distinct. The arms are short but the legs are relatively long. The fingers are slightly webbed whereas the toes are extensively webbed. The dorsum is dark green with bright yellow spots. The dermal folds and glands are white. Gular and ventral skin is translucent. The iris is yellow-green. Habitat and conservation Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forests, although a specimen has a ...

Glassfrog
The glass frogs belong to the amphibian family Centrolenidae (order Anura). While the general background coloration of most glass frogs is primarily lime green, the abdominal skin of some members of this family is transparent and translucent, giving the glass frog its common name. The internal viscera, including the heart, liver, and gastrointestinal tract, are visible through the skin. When active their blood makes them visible; when sleeping most of the blood is concealed in the liver, hiding them. Glass frogs are arboreal, living mainly in trees, and only come out for mating season. Their transparency conceals them very effectively when sleeping on a green leaf, as they habitually do. Taxonomy The first described species of Centrolenidae was the "giant" '' Centrolene geckoideum'', named by Marcos Jiménez de la Espada in 1872, based on a specimen collected in northeastern Ecuador. Several species were described in subsequent years by different herpetologists (including G. ...

Centroleninae
Centroleninae is one of two subfamilies of the family Centrolenidae. It has nine genera distributed in Central America from Honduras south and east to northern and central South America. As of mid 2015, it contains 117 species. Taxonomy Centroleninae are defined based on molecular and morphological characteristics, none of which are obvious to a naked eye. However, in several species a fighting behaviour that might be synapomorphy has been observed: males dangle by their feet and grapple venter-to-venter; amplexus-like or wrestling on leaves fighting of Hyalinobatrachinae is hypothesized to be primitive behaviour. Their sister taxon is ambiguous, it is either genus ''Ikakogi'' or subfamily Hyalinobatrachinae. Genera There are nine genera: *''Centrolene'' Jiménez de la Espada, 1872 (27 sp.) *'' Chimerella'' Guayasamin, Castroviejo-Fisher, Trueb, Ayarzagüena, Rada, and Vilà, 2009 (2 sp.) *''Cochranella'' Taylor, 1951 (9 sp.) *'' Espadarana'' Guayasamin, Castroviejo-Fisher, Tru ...

Edward Harrison Taylor
Edward Harrison Taylor (April 23, 1889 – June 16, 1978) was an American herpetologist from Missouri. Family Taylor was born in Maysville, Missouri, to George and Loretta Taylor. He had an older brother, Eugene. Education Taylor studied at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas, graduating with a B.A. in 1912. Field trips during his time at the University of Kansas with Dr. Clarence McClung and Dr. Roy Moody helped prepare Taylor for his future endeavors. Between 1916 and 1920 he returned briefly to Kansas to finish his M.A. Career Upon completing his bachelor's degree, Taylor went to the Philippines, where at first he held a teacher's post in a village in central Mindanao. He collected and studied the local herpetofauna extensively and published many papers. He returned to the Philippines after completing his master's degree and was appointed Chief of Fisheries in Manila. On his many survey trips he continued collecting and studying fishes and reptiles of the islan ...

Subfamily
In biological classification, a subfamily (Latin: ', plural ') is an auxiliary (intermediate) taxonomic rank, next below family but more inclusive than genus. Standard nomenclature rules end subfamily botanical names with "-oideae", and zoological names with "-inae". See also * International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants * International Code of Zoological Nomenclature * Rank (botany) * Rank (zoology) In biological classification, taxonomic rank is the relative level of a group of organisms (a taxon) in an ancestral or hereditary hierarchy. A common system consists of species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, kingdom, domain. While ... Sources {{biology-stub ...

Centrolenella
''Centrolene'' is a genus of glass frogs in the family Centrolenidae. The adult males are characterized by having a humeral spine, as most members of this family. The delimitation of this genus versus '' Cochranella'' is not fully resolved, and some species formerly in ''Centrolenella'' — which is nowadays synonym A synonym is a word, morpheme, or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word, morpheme, or phrase in a given language. For example, in the English language, the words ''begin'', ''start'', ''commence'', and ''initiate'' are all ...ized with ''Centrolene'' — are now in '' Hyalinobatrachium''. The genus is known as "giant glass frogs". But this is merely relative to the rest of their family, which contains numerous extremely diminutive species. Species The following species are recognised in the genus ''Centrolene'': References Glass frogs Amphibians of South America Taxa named by Marcos Jiménez de la Espada Amphibian genera ...
