Biology:Leptodactylus

From HandWiki

Leptodactylus is a genus of leptodactylid frogs.[1] It includes the species commonly called ditch frogs or white-lipped frogs.[2] It is similar to Physalaemus, a close relative, and indeed the 2005 described Leptodactylus lauramiriamae is in some aspects intermediate between them.[3]

Etymology

The name means ‘slender finger’, from leptos (‘thin, delicate’) and the Greek Script error: The function "transl" does not exist. (δάκτυλος, ‘finger, toe’).[4]

Taxonomy

The genus Leptodactylus's sister taxon is the genus Hydrolaetare.[5]

The genus is composed of 4 species groups.[6] However, 3 species have not been assigned to a species group (L. hylodes, L. lauramiriamae, L. ochraceus).[5]
