Amnirana
''Amnirana'' is a genus of frogs in the family Ranidae, "true frogs". The genus is primarily found in Sub-Saharan Africa, but one species occurs in parts of southern and southeastern Asia. Some of the African species are widespread but contain undescribed cryptic diversity. Most (but not all) species have a white upper lip, and the genus is sometimes known as the white-lipped frogs. Taxonomy ''Amnirana'' was originally introduced as a subgenus of ''Rana''. It was often included in the then-diverse genus ''Hylarana'', until Oliver and colleagues revised the genus in 2015, delimiting ''Hylarana'' more narrowly and elevating ''Amnirana'' to genus rank. Within the genus, '' Amnirana nicobariensis'' appears to be the sister taxon of the African clade of species, but the data are inconclusive. With more data available to resolve possible non-molecular synapomorphies of the genus, ''A. nicobariensis'' might become recognized as a separate genus. A later study suggested it to be close ...

Leptodactylus
''Leptodactylus'' is a genus of leptodactylid frogs. It includes the species commonly called ditch frogs or white-lipped frogs. It is very similar to ''Physalaemus'', a close relative, and indeed the recently described ''Leptodactylus lauramiriamae ''Leptodactylus'' is a genus of leptodactylid frogs.

Amnirana Albolabris
''Amnirana albolabris'' is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It is widely distributed in Sub-Saharan West and Middle Africa. However, the nominal species includes at least one undescribed species west of Benin; the formal taxonomic changes to split the species have not yet been done. Common names white-lipped frog and forest white-lipped frog has been coined for it, whereas Bamileke Plateau frog refers to now- synonymized ''Amnirana longipes'' (=''Hylarana longipes''). Distribution ''Amnirana albolabris'' occurs in West Africa (from west to east: Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Nigeria) and in Middle Africa (from north to south and east: Cameroon, Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Republic of the Congo, Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, and Kenya). There seems to be a gap in the distribution between western Togo and western Nigeria. Phylogeny and taxonomy ''Amnirana albolabris'' includes ...

Chalcorana Chalconota
''Chalcorana chalconota'' is a species of "true frog", family Ranidae. It is endemic to Indonesia and occurs in southern Sumatra, Java, Bali, and a few smaller islands. Populations previously assigned to this species now belong to a number of other ''Chalcorana'' species, leading to the current delineation of ''Chalcorana chalconota'' with a much narrower range. This species is also known as the Schlegel's frog, brown stream frog, copper-cheeked frog, or, among with many other species, white-lipped frog. Description ''Chalcorana chalconota'' are relatively large frogs: adult males measure and females in snout–vent length. The legs are relatively short. The snout is slightly projecting. The tympanum is visible, slightly depressed. The finger tips are much enlarged. Coloration is green; the back may have black spots. Hind limbs may have crossbars. Dorsal skin is granular in females and has many fine spinules in males. Males also have conspicuously protruding humeral glands. H ...

Chalcorana Labialis
''Chalcorana labialis'', also known as the white-lipped frog, is a species of " true frog" in the family Ranidae. As currently known, it is endemic to Peninsular Malaysia, although it might also occur in Singapore. Molecular data suggest presence of three distinct lineages in the same area, one of which is not closely related to ''Chalcorana labialis'' and which could represent an unnamed species. Description Adult males measure and adult females in snout–vent length. The tympanum is distinct. The fingers have well-developed discs but no webbing. The toe discs are somewhat smaller; the toes have extensive webbing. The dorsum varies from dark green to pale yellow, with or without brown spots on the back. The upper lip is creamy yellow or white. The ventral surfaces are cream-coloured. The hind limbs may have dark cross-bars. Habitat and conservation ''Chalcorana labialis'' occurs on vegetation by forest streams and swamps. It is common. As of April 2019, this species ha ...

Chalcorana Rufipes
''Chalcorana rufipes'' is a species of " true frog" in the family Ranidae. It is endemic to Sumatra, Indonesia. It was split off from ''Chalcorana chalconota'' by Robert Inger and colleagues in 2009, along with a number of other species. The specific name ''rufipes'' is derived from Latin ''rufus'' meaning reddish and ''pes'' meaning foot, in reference to the reddish tinge on the underside of the pedal webbing in life. Description ''Chalcorana rufipes'' are moderately large frogs: adult males measure and females in snout–vent length. Body is slender and the legs are long. The snout is obtusely pointed. The tympanum is distinct but comparatively small. The outer fingers have large discs; no webbing is present. The toe tips have discs that are smaller than the fingers ones. The webbing between the toes is extensive. Preserved specimens are medium brown dorsally and on the sides. The sides of the head are dark brown. The upper lip is white. There are small dark spots on the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Leptodactylus Fragilis
''Leptodactylus fragilis'', known under many common names such as the Mexican white-lipped frog, American white-lipped frog or simply white-lipped frog, is a species of leptodactylid frog. Its distribution ranges from the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas in the United States south through Mexico and Central America to Colombia and Venezuela. It is often—wrongly—referred to as ''Leptodactylus labialis'' (Cope, 1878) (or ''Leptodactylus mystaceus labialis'' Shreve, 1957), which is a junior synonym of '' Leptodactylus mystacinus''. Description Mexican white-lipped frogs are grey-brown in color with brown or black mottling. They have a distinctive white stripe along their upper lip which gives them their name. They grow to in length. Habitat Mexican white-lipped frog is a widespread and common species found in a range of habitats, in savanna, grassland, semi-arid lands, and open habitats in humid and dry, lowland and montane tropical forests. It is often seen near water. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Leptodactylus Mystacinus
''Leptodactylus mystacinus'' is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in eastern Bolivia and eastwards to Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay and southwards to central Argentina. It is also known as the mustached frog. Description Adult males measure and adult females in snout–vent length. The snout in males is more spatulate than in females. A pair of dorsolateral folds runs from behind the eye to the upper groin; a second pair is either incomplete or interrupt and starts from the forearm insertion and runs along the flanks. The toes lack fringes and fleshy ridges, the toe tips are narrow. The dorsum is uniform, striped, or bears small dark spots. The upper pair of dorsolateral folds is lined with a distinct dark brown stripe or band below and usually with a light pinstripe above; the latter becomes often broader and more distinct posteriorly. The lower dorsolateral folds along the flanks may have dark or cream highlights, or both. The upper lip typically ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
