Tomopterna Ahli
''Tomopterna ahli'', commonly known as the Damaraland sand frog or Damara sand frog, is a species of frog in the family Pyxicephalidae. It is found in central to north-western Namibia and southwestern Angola. Description Five adult males in the type series of the formerly recognized ''Tomopterna damarensis'' measure in snout–vent length; the range in a larger sample is . The body is stout. The snout is rounded. The tympanum is round; the supra-tympanic ridge is weakly developed. The fingers have no webbing but the toes are partially webbed. The dorsum is reddish brown with darker brown patches. The eyelids have three darker bars. The shanks and feet are brown with darker patches. The lower surfaces are whitish except for the throat that is darkly pigmented around jaw line. The male advertisement call is a series of notes, emitted at a rate of seven per second. The call has two harmonics that are equally emphasized, one of 1.1–1.2 kHz and the other of 2.4–2.5 k ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Knocking Sand Frog
The knocking sand frog (''Tomopterna krugerensis''), also known as sandveld pyxie or Kruger burrowing frog, is a species of frog in the family Pyxicephalidae. It is found in southern Angola, Namibia, Botswana, southern Zimbabwe, southern Mozambique, northern South Africa, and Eswatini. This species was discovered during the evening of 23 October 1973 in South Africa's Kruger National Park. Two weeks after heavy rain fell in the area, large numbers were found around the Machayi and Mathlakuza Pans in the northeastern part of the Park near the Mozambican frontier. Description Males measure and females in snout–vent length. It is a stout frog with short, broad head. The fore limbs are also short and stout, whereas the hind limbs are longer than body when extended. Fingers have no webbing whereas the toes have some webbing. The tympanum is present but can be indistinct. The dorsum is typically cream-beige, but may vary from very pale grey-brown to a mid-brown. There are many irr ...

Tandy's Sand Frog
Tandy's sand frog (''Tomopterna tandyi'') is a species of frog in the family Pyxicephalidae. It is found in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and south-western Angola, and from inland Tanzania and Kenya. It probably occurs more widely within and between these two disjunct areas. The specific name ''tandyi'' honours Robert Mills Tandy, an American biologist, herpetologist, and photographer and the collector of the type material. Systematics This species is a tetraploid that probably originated as a hybrid between '' Tomopterna cryptotis'' and ''Tomopterna delalandii''. It is not possible to distinguish it morphologically from these two species, and many distributional records do not separate between ''T. tandyi'' and ''T. cryptotis''. Description The holotype, an adult male, measures in snout–vent length. The tympanum is visible. The fingers have no webbing whereas the toes are partially webbed. The dorsum has patches of grey or olive on lighter background. The dorsal warts ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Delalande's Sand Frog
Delalande's sand frog (''Tomopterna delalandii''), also known as Delalande's frog, Cape sand frog, or striped pixie, is a species of frog in the family Pyxicephalidae. It is endemic to western and southern South Africa and occurs in the low-lying areas of Namaqualand, Western Cape, and Eastern Cape as far east as Cape St. Francis.
